Swedish psych-journeymen Dungen return with their seventh lp, Allas Sak, via Mexican Summer. A sweeping and highly musical journey from start to finish, the instrumental “Franks Kaktus” has stayed on repeat. Driven by jazz flute, tribal percussion and washes of eastern-leaning guitar, the song vibes on some serious mystical 70’s prog, and that’s before the electric starts ripping away. All the elements culminate together only to quiet down for a flute solo bridge, evoking the Swedish mountainside; a serene and holistic quiet. And then everything picks back up, melds together, and fades into the future. That is, until we press play again. words / c depasquale
