Dungen is a Swedish rock band based in Stockholm. Often classified as prog or psychedelic rock, the band is fronted by singer/composer Gustav Ejstes, who writes all music and plays some of the instruments on the band's records. Despite this, Dungen plays live as a four-piece. Ejstes, who in his teens started his songwriting with hip hop, is backed live by Swedish progressive rock veteran Reine Fiske on guitar, bassist Mattias Gustavsson, and drummer Johan Holmegard (the previous drummer was Fredrik Björling).

With their unique blend of genres and captivating performances, Dungen has gained recognition both in Sweden and internationally. Their music showcases Ejstes' diverse influences and musical talent while incorporating elements of prog and psychedelic rock.

If you enjoy artists such as Sagor & Swing, Bo Hansson, or Goat, then you will definitely appreciate Dungen's distinctive sound. Other similar artists include Orions Belte, Björn Olsson, Wooden Shjips, Morgan Delt, Psychic Ills, Woods,and Moon Duo among others.

With their second album Dungen moved from a sound deeply rooted in Swedish folk music towards more psychedelia and 70's pop. This missing link between the sparse debut and the world wide break through Ta Det Lugnt moves through 60's and 70's prog, psych, pop and folk with soaring flutes, woodsy violins, wicked fuzz guitars and frenetic jazz-drums. The record was originally released in 2002 under the name Stadsvandringar and a slightly different version got a very limited vinyl release as Dungen 2. II collects all tracks from Stadsvandringar and Dungen 2 as well as a single-track never available on vinyl all remastered by the original producer Mattias Glav. Dungen's music has expanded sonic boundaries all through the 2000s and II lets you explore both the butterfly light side as well as the heavier introspective aspects of a groundbreaking, yet retrospective band.
