Am I the only one that missed Dosh's album The Lost Take like a year and a half ago? I mean, I get a semi every time someone from Anticon so much as passes wind, and then this lovely little album just, whoosh, slips right by. So here's one final attempt to actually have any kind of a claim to a grasp on modern music before I give up and clap like a harp seal to the Kaiser Chiefs at the Clydebank.
Dosh (born Martin Luther King Chavez Dosh, which is, you know, great) produces some pretty bad-ass genre-mashing off-kilter electro-pop that inspires some awesome word-hyphenations. In contrast to some of the later, more conceptual Anticon output, it's nice to hear something that just sounds really nice. I mean, there's a song on here called Everybody Cheer Up Song. For God's sake, people. It's like a kitten. A kitten with really sad eyes. Try not to love it. There's some serious musical chops here for the musos, as well: tracks like Circles and Squares feature chord progressions only hinted at by the more esoteric forms of quantum mechanics.
