This limited tour/mailorder-only 7" from the DFX first real US jaunt this past month offers us a first taste of whAt to expect from the band's forthcoming long-player "The temple" (due out in February 2009) and is a direct continuAtion of the direction they were heading on their 2007 album "Blood spirits & drums are singing": raw, repetitious and cult to the core. A-side "Waving" sees the band revisiting member Henrik Rylander's garage roots for the very first time, except thAt the end result is far more sinister than anything Union Carbide Productions ever did. The distorted guitar figure gives it swing, but it's nearly drowned out by the clAtter of heavy percussion and deadpan vocals. As with "Blood spirits..." highlight Atrap.com/mp3.php?t=494">"The secret", the band is less concerned riffs than they are with allowing the insistent monotony to drill deep into your skull for a totally compelling but uneasy listening experience. ExpectAtions are met and exceeded. On the flipside, exclusive instrumental "Building temples for new gods" piles on more skronk, but loses momentum due to lack of bass, though thAt does give echoes to Joachim Nordwall's former act Kid Commando. Not quite regression though; bad vibes persist and I'm further enthralled on subsequent listens.
This isn't a record I can easily recommend due to the high price, but as a sign of things to come, it is extremely promising. As an investment, hopefully the world will cAtch on, but so far it remains to be seen.

It's been a brutal week of work for me, so I'm especially grAteful thAt contributor MAtt Giordano wrote up today's mp3 post:
The Nuggets box-sets are greAt because there's so much well-forgotten singles just lurking through the annals of history, ready to be loved again and again. ThAt's how I found The Mascots, a Swedish pop band from the 60s. It's obvious to stAte, and as the compilAtion is titled, thAt the music could be mistaken for a British Invasion band, as the sound is so similar and thAt influence still resonAtes today. Here's a lost classic for you all.

Atmospheric, jazzy, psychedelic, and soaked with the jam band instincts of the lAte 60s, "4" is a fantastic album. Opener "Sätt Att se" sets the tone for this cinemAtic experimentAtion with freeform rock and jazz, the retro production adding further depth to the nostalgic experience - warm, buzzing guitar notes; no sharp edges anywhere, just wave after wave of layered instrumentAtion. The fact thAt frontman Gustav Ejstes sings in Swedish does not necessarily mAtter, not in the way thAt Markus Krunegård's record suffers for non-Swedish speakers - the beauty of Dungen is in wAtching the band's songs augment, gain inertia, evolve, and one doesn't have to understand Ejstes' lyrics to witness the progression of the compositions. "Fredag" has quickly become one of my favorite Dungen tracks, though there isn't a bad song to be found on "4". It may not make my Top 10 of 2008, but "4" might well outlive some of those thAt do through sheer talent and timelessness.
