Thicker terrain.

I don't know why I'm writing about Minneapolis so much these days. I think a lot of Twin Cities music has just come my way, for some reason.
Dosh - Subtractions.
When I lived in Minneapolis, I never fully looked into Mr. Martin Dosh and his amazing drumming, sampling, and looping abilities. I knew he was around, working with Andrew Bird and playing the Triple Rock, but I never listened as closely as I should have. Time to remedy that.
"Subtractions" is from Dosh's new record Tommy. (I can't be the only one hoping this was a concept cover album of a Who rock opera, can I?) It's out April 13 on Anticon. Having listened more closely to his most recent records Wolves and Wishes and Triple Rock, I'm pretty excited about the direction he's moving in. This track's pulsing rhythms and piecemeal vocals remind me of Steve Reich's particular brand of organized chaos. But as rock music.
You can read more about Tommy over at the Anticon site.
