{Now that I’m all caught up, I’ll be taking off the rest of this week and enjoying Thanksgiving. I WILL be back in December with more music and mixes along the lines of the one below to stand in for radio, at least for the moment. Onwards and upwards peoples!}
As should be clear by now, Dungen is one of my favorite contemporary bands, perhaps my single favorite band of the 21st century. Aside from the great respect I have for each of the individual members talents, it is their collective approach to sound that I admire most. In the month since I had the opportunity to interview the band and watch them perform, none of my admiration for the band has dimmed. If anything it has only deepened. This mix began just as something that I wanted to create for my long commutes, from Glendale to Long Beach, and for future road trips. But I decided to share this mix, which covers 20 of my personal favorites from the bands six full-length studio albums, as a means of spreading the band’s music and frontman Gustav Ejstes’ philosophy connected to it. As he said in our interview and wrote in my copy of Tio Bitar, the music IS yours…Enjoy!
