There isn't much in the way of fretboard wizardry on "Familj", but it is Dungen in fine form, still astounding in their time-capsule production and ageless melody. Sun-kissed speaker-panning organs recall a gentler strain of psychedelia, with just a trace of six-string jangle under the layered vocal harmonies that are the real center of the track. That's not to undermine the quietly stunning drum performance that skitters as the organ tones cascade around it, or even the fiddle seamlessly thrown in to the track's final moments. It still sounds just as lovingly vintage, but there's more confidence and bravery in the melody, as all the trappings we loved Ta Det Lugt for respect the vocals above all else. No less seductive for being softer, "Familj" has Dungen reaching the same ends with new means, adding some space to their songs and quite literally strengthening their voice.
