The temptation is to rattle off a litany of $5 adjectives and complex scenarios involving myself, rural Sweden in the spring, several forest nymphs and the words “frolic,” “carefree,” and “jaunty.” But c’mon. Like all Dungen-related projects, The Amazing, coaxes new ideas of a worn-out premise. Gustav Estjes is absent from the proceedings but his star ax-man, Reine “Rule with an Iron” Fiske, is along for the Saab excursion, along with the band’s drummer Johan Holmegard. Paired with Christopher Gunrup and Fredrik Swahn, The Amazing not only live up their name but strangle their competition, Amazing Baby. You know, pastoral guitars, that purple, the whole psychedelic dream. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Almost as good as nymphs.

almost as good as nymphs, eh? that’s pretty damn good!
more “floaty” than “jaunty”, though

Maybe even “ethereal.” I think the word “jaunty” is funny.
