The Amazing



Easily my favorite band only behind Tame Impala. These guys make 60's 70's psych-folk-rock and they do it with originality. Two of the band members are actually in Dungen. This song is off their first full length and I just got my hands on it thanks to an eMusic trial. I couldn't find it anywhere else, so good luck. If I had the money I would own all their albums on vinyl and cd and mp3, that's how AMAZING they are.  (sorry I couldn't resist). Sung in English ,as are all their songs, this track sounds like a Neil Young/David Crosby collaboration when they were really on their game. Christoffer Gunrup's vocals swirl and glide throughout in a dreamy, grass induced haze. Its like he was born to sing this kind of music.



This one comes off of their ep "Wait for a Light to Come". The whole album is great. There's definitely a coastal feel to every song. Another tough one to find. More ear caressing vocals,glistening guitar chords, and shimming percussion, very uplifting. Makes me feel like riding a wave in slo-mo. This song, my god. Just listen to it. The album "Gentle Stream" is fantastic. Flashlight and International Hair are my other two standout tracks. You're most likely to find this one with some persistent searching. Buy them if you can afford it though.
