Dungen

Perusing upcoming shows at Black Cat, I noticed a familiar name: Dungen. These guys have already done Conan O'Brien, landed a slot at Coachella 2006 on Day II, and taught me a little Svedish: TA DET LUGNT, the title of their 2004 release on (none other than) Kemado Records (also on Subliminal Sounds), means (roughly) "grab the calm."

Further investigation uncovered a 9.3 rating from Pitchfork on the aforementioned album, and a couple of monster songs on their MySpace page ("Panda" and "Sluta Foljer Efter").
