Psychedelic Swede Invades My Stereo!

I came across this 21-year-old, Swedish one-man-band called Dungen (pronounced Doon Jen.) The backstory is amazing (even more so if true!) He grew up in rural Sweden where his folk musician dad taught him like 500 instruments and he records in his grandmother's barn (or something like that.) The single Panda features Mitch Mitchell-style drumming; Blue Oyster Cult's...I dunno cowbell?; Boston's vocal and guitar multi-layering, Swedsih folk music's..I've got nuthin'; a country twang/lap steel that slides into infinity; and mid-90's garage band chugging (like Loud Lucy) all rolled up into a massively addicting tune that I can't stop from listening to over and over! Don't you just love when that happens?! Plus, I don't have a clue as to what he's singing about! I do know one thing...Det är bra! (That's good!)
