After about a decade together, Herman Dune-- which consists of Franco-Swedish singer David-Ivar Herman Dune and drummer Neman-- have sharpened their craft without becoming overly professional or disingenuous. On the band"s new EP, 1-2-3/Apple Tree, they play deceptively simple folk-based compositions with flashes of electric guitars, horns, mouth harp, and bowed saw. 1-2-3/Apple Tree features two unreleased until now songs, -Song for Golda- and -Song of Samuel-. An indie feast of droll lyrics and beguilingly naïve melodies. **** 4 STARS, MOJO New full-length album, coming this Fall
