Stylus Magazine
The lyrics within Dungen'sTa det Lugntoffer no profound personal introspection, colorful metaphors or soul-challenging wisdom to the monolingual English-speaking population. Indeed, without singing a single word of discernable English, Dungen makes ...more
The Austin Chronicle
There's a Swedish proverb that says, "Wisdom is in the head and not in the beard." This adage applies to Dungen, a band that plays like the past 25 years never happened.Ta Det Lugnt("take it easy"), the band's third album, grows from the ...more
Pitchfork
An exceedingly triumphant psych-pop oddity.... I doubt 2004 will birth a more blissful sonic encounter than Ta Det Lugnt. ...more
Pitch Fork Media
Despite the constant influx of catchphrase-coordinated marketing campaigns that would lead you to believe that life-affirming records are released daily, it's forever rare to stumble upon one as consistently mind-blowing and aesthetically ...more

Billboard
With the sonic reach of Pink Floyd and convincing, explosive pop in the vein of Rogue Wave and the Apples in Stereo, "Ta Det Lugnt" is thick with variety. ...more
Playlouder
Ejstes... has an innate sense of melody, rhythm and the skill to play some pretty natty fat bass splurges, and psychedelic, peripatetic spider-like drum rolls. ...more
No Ripcord
Ta Det Lugnt is that rare joy, a work of art that both demands and rewards your attention. ...more
Stylus Magazine
He has captured a sound that few current artists challenge, and none have mastered to such a degree. Quite simply, Ta det Lugnt is one of the best releases of this year. ...more
Tiny Mix Tapes
The aural face of this album is frighteningly flawless: a technical perfection that only lends to the mythic proportions of the songs, behemoths so pregnant with ideas and so rich in sound that they seem to stretch for miles. ...more

Just when I thought the term "psychedelia" would in the future only be applied mournfully to the gangrenous limbs of Elephant 6 or dubiously to freak outfits like Animal Collective, Dungen arrives, like a bat out of Sweden, to reclaim ...more
PrefixMag
In most ways, I do not resemble the average American. Unlike three-fourths of the country, I did not vote for George Bush or, worse, did not vote at all (just kidding -- there isn't anything worse). I don't like McDonald's, I have no idea ...more
Playlouder
Here are some things you might not know about Dungen. Dungen is apparently Swedish for clump of trees , not dungeon , though 'Dungen' sounds much more like dungeon than it does clump of trees. If you're listening with English ears. Here's ...more
All Music Guide
The best tracks on this album stand up well against the likes of the Move and the Creation, or at the very least, the Green Pajamas and the Apples in Stereo. ...more
Austin Chronicle
It sounds unfiltered, raw, and rough, and the quartet's mixture of guitar, organ, fiddle, percussion, and flute (Jethro Tull in the house) makes it all the more authentic. ...more
