BIOG

Gustav Ejstes grew up in a big 17th century house in a little village called Lanna in Vastergotland, Sweden. His father whos a fiddler, violinist and a music teacher, gave him a birthing in the mysteries of Swedish folk, but vitally also in classic 60s pop and rock, piano and guitar playing. During his teens Gustav got hooked into the world of Hip-Hop and sampling.

He botanized around in the record jungle and on his expeditions got to hear many incredible Swedish 1960s-70s recordings that he had never heard before. This opened up a brand new world. Suddenly it was clear that he, instead of taking a detour through sampling, should play all the instruments he heard and prove that he could make it himself. Gustav went back to basics starting with guitar, drums, bass and keyboards.

Gustav's story begins to read like a fairy tale when he then moved to his mothers farm situated deep in the woods of Smaland where his interest for the Swedish folk music intensified. After the daily tasks at the farm he worked all night long in his music studio down in his grandmothers basement. The music that he created became more and more his own and it wasn't long before rumours started to spread about Dungen's willful 'folkrockpsych' in the Swedish countryside. Memphis are proud to release this fantastic record in the UK and Europe

ALBUM REVIEWS

"Dungen are comfortably the best band in the world" 8/10 NME
"Fan's Of Eno, Can, The Beatles & Zappa should get a buzz out of this weirdly brilliant album" Dazed
"Ta Det Lugnt offers a glimpse of what the Stone Roses were groping for with the second coming. Superb."4/5 Observer MM
"A classic of modern psychedelia" 4/5 Uncut
"A glorious mix of pyschedelic pop, off kilter folk and sinister proggy overtones". 4/5 Rip and Burn
"Its sung in Swedish but this doesn't stop this album being a classic". 4/5 The Independent

LIVE REVIEWS

"They're mind expanding enough to inspire a generation to drop a tab, stop the war and chuck their hoodies in the tye dye. As great Swedish inventions go Dungen are right up there with matches, the zip and ballbearings". NME - Electric Ballroom 12 May 2005
