{"product_id":"tio-bitar","title":"Tio Bitar","description":"TIO BITAR, Swedish psych revivalists Dungen's follow-up to their 2004 breakthrough album, TA DET LUGNT, packs all the acid-drenched freakiness of its predecessor, but channels it in a more focused direction. Gustav Ejstes and a rotating cast of helpmates continue to party like it's 1969, with plenty of Jimi Hendrix-meets-Jerry Garcia guitar journeys, but this time around Dungen favors concise song forms instead of endless paisley-hued raveups. The shift works well, as soaring vocal harmonies and stately keyboard themes adorn infectious riffs that seem transplanted from some parallel-world version of NUGGETS.\u003cbr\u003eTIO BITAR is bookended by two drastically differing pieces that illustrate the dynamic range Ejstes can muster; the album opens with the appropriately titled \"Intro,\" which immediately plunges the listener into the frenzy of a psychedelic inferno, while closing track \"En Gang I Ar Kom Det En Tar\" showcases the pretty, balladic side of Dungen via gently plucked acoustic guitar, elegant piano and organ lines, and cooing woodwind sounds. Whether channeling mellow, MEDDLE-era Pink Floyd or churning up a dizzying electric firestorm, TIO BITAR shows that there's still a place for psychedelia in the modern world.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41907225854117,"sku":"7393210134225","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/c4d1140ed806b770f807f91907c61a61_2531da62-1098-478e-97c8-cf76123771b7.jpg?v=1781175672","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/tio-bitar","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
