Interpol Vs. Spoon Vs. Dungen

Congrats to Ray and Danny on creating the new Interpol website. I don't have strong opinions about Interpol like these people, but I do love Spoon, so here you go:

Interpol - "Slow Hands (Britt Daniel Remix)"

OK, enough about Interpol. Does anyone have the Dungen CD? I'm really intrigued by Pitchfork's write-up.

UPDATE: Mark's got a Dungen track and it does not disappoint.

I got it a few weeks ago @ Other Music before Pitchfork
shot their wad over it, and it's gotten better with each listen. I have littleclue about the "band" (actually just some dude named Gustav) other than they are Swedish, sing is Swedish, and the CD sound like it was recorded it the late sixties. This isn't even their first album, though it's the first I heard of them.

Really one of the better rock albums I have heard in 2004.

The Dungen disc is fantastic---it's floating around on someone's iTunes here at work. Definitely pick it up.

The Dungen album is easily my favorite album of the year -- so good that I was will to pay the $24 for an import copy. It's available on Soulseek and will probably be a lot easier to find within the next few weeks.

Usually when I see Pitchfork review a cd with a title like "Ta Det Lugnt" I don't even bother reading, figuring it will be another obscure Norwegian/Czechoslavakian/Iranian drum 'n bass/psychpunkpopbluegrass band or some crap like that. "In obscurity lies hipness" should be there slogan.

I think they're getting better, though. Futureheads, Arcade Fire, their recommends have become more listenable over the past year or so. I was impressed that they actually bothered listening to, let alone liked, the new Green Day. (Which is fat-fucking brilliant, btw.)

dungen isn't so bad, the music works all around but i can't seem to find a way to enjoy the vocals. i'm pretty sure he's singing with his mouth closed and letting all of the sound come straight through his nose.

Spoon has joined Wilco in the "why does everyone love them?" hall of fame.

Going to see Dungen in Manchester tomorrow, I've heard they're great live, anyone else seen them.

Ta Det Lugnt is ace, get it now, last years album of the year in my opinion.
