$14.98 (list price), Psychedelic Rock, Kemado Basic Story: Sweden’s Dungen give us their fourth album and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed and groundbreaking 2004 release, Ta Det Lugnt.
Sample: Lyrics in Swedish.
Verdict: Tio Bitar translates in English to “10 Pieces,” the total amount of songs on the album, which range from two to almost nine minutes in length. Whether long or short, the songs give Dungen plenty of time to shift the musical direction several times over. The band often goes from slow, spacey pieces built around intricate fiddle playing, to fuzzed-out stadium rock, and vice versa. Overall, the songs are harder on the ears, lacking in melodic direction and increasingly self indulgent. It’s difficult to even pick out a standout track. Perhaps another case of a one album wonder.
