Review

Martin Dosh, an elementary-school drum teacher and former piano virtuoso for the Fog, reveals his basement side-project - this marvelously flawed and fuzzy composition of live and self-engineered noise. While everyone is so obsessed with crystal-clear production and rare drum samples, this cat and his abounding supply of experimental tools (Dictaphone tape, faders, mutes, effects pedals, homemade recording modules) together craft harmonies that take the listener in immediately. A couple tracks even have that notable Anticon-esque hard-drum sentiment, in case the kids need something to flow to. Though the beats are mostly live, the production is what you would expect from this prolific label - quality-sounding with that classic and unscathed authenticity. Layers of sad, jazzy piano keys (even some applied by his own students!) mixed with reverb, hi-fi sounds and the affecting drones and drum beats make this album a must for a somber evening on the porch with a '70s-filtered spectrum sunset.
