Free Flowing And Jazzy In A Sun-Kissed Way

""Dosh" is pretty album of basement-infused, melodic, low-fi instrumentals created from Fender Rhodes, drums and drum machines, guitars, various percussion, loops, random voices, and numerous effects.
Song structure is secondary to the sound, the groove, and numerous simple melodies. It's free flowing and jazzy in a sun-kissed way. At times the noises and rhythms almost spin out of control, but Dosh quickly reigns them in.
The music isn't beholden to any specific genre or decade. Some references to 80's electro, 90's indie, and 00's loopers are bound to crop up, but they are fleeting. It has a timeless quality.
While this album has garnered excellent reviews in mostly indie and underground publications and web sites since it was released in 2003, I think that years into the future more people will look back at this recording and discover it for the classic that it will some day be recognized as - at least I hope. It's quite an amazing work."

"it is about time that dosh put an album out. after hearing all the hype and all the noise about this, it would have to be perfect or near. the beats on this record are completely mind-numbing.
Dosh is not human at all for those who do not know him personaly....he is really a robot sent back in time from the future to kill john connor....wait that is the terminator.
oh, yeah ....my bad, dosh is a real person for those who think he is not....and i know what you are going to say next. "how can a real person come up with such dope tracks?" this is what is known as an anomaly. it can not possible be explained, so dont even try. but for those hard headed people that try to understand how someone could possible come up with the amazing beats and samples and tracks....than here is a suggestion. ready? ok the answer is simple, dosh has evolved into some sort of super-human that has the ability to use his entire brain and has obviously used that ability to make dope records. I guess he could use his powers to solve world hunger, or world peace...but than again "dosh works in mysterious ways" Hopfully one day all man will be where dosh is but today we mush wait and hope."
Dosh makes me happy

"Dosh has a great sound. Even without words this music drips gallons of emotion. This is his solo album but he plays in other really fantastic bands, fog (ninja tune) and lateduster (www.firetrunk.com) "Delicate arrangements sweep listeners into moody soundscapes that ebb and flow with focused abandon." -St Paul Pioneer Press.
