Not only is Dungen set to release another staggeringly psychedelic album on the unsuspecting masses (their fourth full-length, and in a Zeppelin-inspired move appropriately titled 4), but they’re also considerate enough to kick off an accompanying US tour here in New York during CMJ. 4 drops on Kemado Records on September 30th; Dungen drops in on the Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 24th. What else do you want to know? Well, judging by advance single “Satt Att Se” (listen below), the drums still sound amazing. Other than that, let’s go straight to the press release, shall we?

4 is the brilliant new studio album from Sweden’s Dungen. Lead by frontman Gustav Ejstes, 4 focuses on the extremes of Dungen’s sound separated into two entities. Blazing, raw guitar workouts have their own time and place, but now, with Ejstes bringing the piano forward as the lead instrument, stirringly orchestrated, jazz-cooled compositions swirl alongside cinematic undertones — kinda like a psychedelic love story. While Ejstes is the principle songwriter in the studio, Dungen performs as a four piece on the road, with a line-up rounded out by new drummer Johan Holmegard, guitarist Reine Fiske and bassist Mattias Gustavsson.
