***The Naoise EP is Martin Dosh's second solo release after his acclaimed self-titled debut on anticon. Dosh returns again equipped with his trademark busted Rhodes piano, a tattered-ass drum kit, a sampler and an assortment of effects pedals. There is nobody who makes music like Dosh. The title track was initially spawned from a jel beat recorded in Dosh's studio during a visit to Minneapolis. After Dosh tweaked the sample and assembled a song around it, it was sent to an enthusiastic odd nosdam who called in why? & miss ohio's drummer Josiah Wolf to help out. By the time the song was finished it was again altered by Dosh, including the appearance of Dosh's stepson Tadhg. The title track is also the lead single from Dosh's October '04 full length, Pure Trash. Andrew Broder (aka Fog) contributes a remix of the album version of "Rock It to the Next Episode" and Huntley Miller (aka Cepia, Ghostly International) contributes his own distinctive interpretation of the event with his remix of "Naoise." The EP also contains two brand new, exclusive tracks and two impressive live performances of "Contractions" and "Steve the Cat." The live songs demonstrate Dosh doing what Dosh does best-- completely live and spontaneous performances with no sequencing, which is his art. With remixes by Andrew Broder of Fog (Lex) and Cepia (Ghostly International) Production work by odd nosdam, josiah wolf and jel of anticon 30-second MP3 excerpts: Naoise Rock It to the Next Episode (Fog remix) Epic Struggles Naoise (Cepia remix) Contractions (live in San Diego) Steve the Cat (live in Tucson) Happy Song for Tadhg If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the iTunes button immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to the iTunes Music Service page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Dosh "Naoise - EP" For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music service, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.

*Nobody makes music like Martin Dosh, who returns equipped with his trademark busted Rhodes piano, tattered- ass drum kit, sampler and assorted effects pedals. Pure Trash** follows his Naoise EP. Like 2003's acclaimed self-titled debut on anticon, the music on Pure Trash is heavily influenced by the people in his life, including his wife (who did most of the album's art work), his stepson (who appears on the record), and particularly his family's most recent member Naoise, after whom the record's single is named. After compiling lots of tracks and ideas, whittling them down to the bare essentials, he enlisted several friends to contribute pieces here and there, which he then edited to fit the whole. Influenced by both electronic music and hip hop as much as by jazz and rock, the record's pretty piano melodies and dirt-filthy breaks have a contemplative but a stubbornly optimistic outlook in the face of a daunting world. Pure Trash demonstrates not only a range of influences, but also a thorough exploration of melody, rhythm, texture and depth of sound. Dosh's unique set of gear, his totally original approach to his equipment, his almost improvisational style of recording and performing (which for him are essentially one and the same), make him like no other performer or recording artist. Pure Trash is a beautiful welcome to Dosh's newborn son Naoise and an overall tribute to a life worth living, usually. Features production work by Andrew Broder (Fog), Mike Lewis (Fog/Happy Apple), Bryan Olsen (Lateduster), josiah (why? & miss ohio's/anticon), odd nosdam (anticon), jel (anticon) Full world tour planned for fall '04 30-second MP3 excerpts: Simple Exercises Dark Lord This is When Things were Looking Up Rock It to the Next Episode Bye Rhodsy I Think I'm Getting Married Bring the Happiness Geye Naoise Pure Trash Building a Strange Child The Last Plan If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the iTunes button immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to the iTunes Music Service page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Dosh "Pure Trash" For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music service, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.

***Martin Dosh, most well known as the drummer and Rhodes piano player in the Minneapolis band Fog (Ninja Tune), has struck out on his own with his debut solo record. When he wasn't practicing drums, playing in bands around Minneapolis or teaching drums to elementary school students, Dosh was collecting hours upon hours of drum breaks and keyboard riffs in the basement of his house, a room cluttered with musical instruments, old samplers and effects pedals, blown out amps and a couple of dusty couches. He worked for a little over a year putting sounds to tape with the occasional accompaniment of friends. These recordings would become this collection of 12 self-engineered, mature instrumentals. Dosh's live drums, which are filtered, overdriven, looped, and effected, sound like a robot with human hands playing a beat-up kit through a vacuum cleaner. They are set in layers of sad, jazzy piano keys, beautiful feedback ambiance, vibes, reverb and delay-drenched Casios, turntables, guitars, and Dictaphone tape. The album displays a full hi-fi sound spectrum while maintaining the down-to-earth honesty of a homemade recording. Riding the faders, mutes and effects knobs, Dosh mixes in the spirit of Lee "Scratch" Perry, making each pass a one-of-a-kind, spontaneous performance.

****The Lost Take* reimagines Dosh the man as Dosh the band. On his third solo release, the keyboardist and drummer takes his expertly arranged loops, smashes them and spreads them all over the album's twelve tracks. Instead of puzzle-piecing pre-recorded bits together, Dosh builds surprisingly organic soundscapes out of live improvisations. Relying on raw, written instrumentation, these miniature opuses begin with Dosh's emotive drumming and Rhodes playing. Later, a hand-picked cast of Minneapolis musicians add guitar, saxophone, bass, violin, clarinet and pedal steel to the mix. "One Through Seven" begins the album with what sounds like an old violin sample floating over a bubbling keyboard melody. Dosh steers the drums in and out of a march, flouting the time signature, but never derailing the composition. Mike Lewis (Fog, Happy Apple) chases the rhythm with his sax as the song unfolds. Dosh makes his vocal debut on "Everybody Cheer Up Song," brightening the tune with his soft-spoken delivery. "Um, Circles and Squares" captures the spirit of the album perfectly, with Dosh looping Andrew Bird's violin around a fast-paced bass-synth sequence doubled by a serene Rhodes motif. As technical as it might seem on paper, the song plays gorgeously. Dosh amazes with his ability to trick the human ear--"Pink Floyd Cowboy Sound" brings to mind Broken Social Scene's warmth and layered mastery with four contributors instead of forty--but The Lost Take never sounds pretentious or intangible. Instead, it's the very natural sound of a damn good band. A band named Martin Dosh. 30-second MP3 excerpts: One Through Seven Everybody Cheer Up Song Um, Circles And Squares A Ghost's Business Ship Wreck Mpls Rock And Roll Fireball Unemployed Blues Pink Floyd Cowboy Song O Mexico Bottom Of A Well The Lost Take If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: go to iTunes to browse downloads for Dosh "The Lost Take" [please note that, due to international licensing agreements, not all Midheaven titles may be available for download in all territories].

****Wolves and Wishes,* Martin Dosh's fourth official LP, arrives after its architect spent nearly a year on the road-- touring solo and as a member of Andrew Bird's band-- and yet, he sounds reborn. If 2006's The Lost Take reimagined the drums, Rhodes, and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink virtuoso as a full band, his latest restocks the lineup with a fresh cast of collaborators, then stretches out as Dosh masterminds the material (composing, improvising, arranging) with all the explorative wonderment of a debut ablum. Never has our man sounded so free. And to think, there's not a single drum machine in the mix. "Don't Wait for the Needle to Drop" gate-crashes Wolves and Wishes with rapid vibes, moody piano, and quavering Rhodes eking out a just-perceptible funk groove under stormy skies. As Andrew Bird's violin cuts through, light rays slash the clouds and things get bright, with guitar and bass (Fog's Andrew Broder and Mark Erickson) weaving in and out of the billowing composition. "Bury the Ghost" starts with an aggressive burst of drum then opens into a sprawling, minimal soundscape that doesn't shy from darkness as Bonnie "Prince" Billy wails overtop. The album's first half is brought to a close with the lilting and pretty "Kit and Pearle," piano reverbing as if in a crystal-floored cathedral among clean drums, pedal steel, Bird's violin, and vocals by Minneapolis band Dark Dark Dark. Wolves and Wishes's second half opens with "Wolves," wherein Jeremy Ylvisaker (frequent Fog and Andrew Bird collaborator) pours on layers of My Bloody Valentine-style guitar while Mike Lewis (Dosh's honorary second man) chases Dosh's burbling synth progressions note-for-note on sax. On "The Magic Stick," the Bad Plus drummer David King stops by to trade alternately blasted and brushed beats with Dosh through a steady groove of piano, guitar and open Rhodes (where the metal tines inside of the keyboard are hit with sticks). Fittingly, the album closes with "Capture the Flag." Here a tightly packed loop of jangle becomes the base for an anthemic track comprising various arpeggiating keys, sampled strings, pulsing sax, and vocal dubs from Dosh himself. All told, it's more melody than should possibly fit within five minutes, but it's beautiful-- which is to say, it's classic Dosh. Most impressive, however, is that for all its breadth, Wolves and Wishes plays straight through as a cohesive whole. Another inimitable broadcast from the Dosh oeuvre. 30-second MP3 excerpts: Don't Wait for the Needle to Drop Bury the Ghost If You Want To, You Have To First Impossible Hit and Pearls Wolves Food Cycles Keep Up Appearance The Magic Stick Capture the Flag If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Go to iTunes to browse downloads for Dosh "Wolves and Wishes" For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music Service and emusic, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.
