Dosh


WIRE - December 2003
SELF-TITLED


Martin Dosh is the drummer and Rhodes player in Fog and this reissue of his solo debut cuts that group's low key loopology into a ramshackle murk, which passes as the Anticon signature sound. Unsteady breaks and live beats underpin stately piano and guitar figures, while an array of wheezing toy keyboards and soft analogue sound squalls provide a gently melancholy depth. It manages to avoid blanched indie loser schtick by the strength and grace of its themes and arrangements. Dosh's interventions and experiments add another dimension of textural perspective to the highly organic mix rather than drawing attention to themselves as prominent events in the sonic narrative.
