Dos sounds off as the inauguration speech of a group accepting the minimalist Psych Bop crown that once adorned the likes of Neu and Loop. If possible, their brand of whipping fuzz hooks have gotten groovier. ‘Motorbike’ begins the program with an attack of bleeding organ and cicada chirps–a wiley, wheel-spinning cloud-kicker indeed. ‘For So Long’ introduces the hip-swayed, shoulder-dropping dance steps of the album. At this point, the guitar delivers a concise Fogerty/Karoli vibe of stiff and looseKkraut blues. Closing side one is the stop-motion go-go anthem ‘Down By The Sea.’ Imagine yourself in the back of a cigarette boat with Alan Vega and Takashi Mizutani circling Easter Island. Smile as you melt under the glare of their mirrored sunglasses staring your own face back at you.

(this critic says nothing to me but the guitars are so good, jotien)

I like this band a lot, although so far after a couple of listens it's seems a little thinner than the last one... I am not sure exploring their inner Fogerty is the best thing for them. Getting too minimalist in a couple tracks.

The first few songs on this drag a bit for me, but "Fallin'" is perfect for cranking up to ungodly volumes.
