R. A. Blum This is a great little EP and the closer is an absolute gem. The band evokes a sound that reminds me of the first two foo fighters albums, some dinosaur jr, an appreciation for grunge and alternative rock that I think more bands need. Get this, now! Favorite track: Sink.

nofatclips 2nd listen: still surprising at repeated listening. Indeed, it does sound familiar, but in totally unexpected ways that keep defying most expectations. Recommended!

1st listen: A successful mish mash of grunge and shoegaze that culminates in the real banger that is Sink. Favorite track: Sink.

Weighed Down 04:06
Weighed down We sink in soft white sounds We fall into the sea We fade In reverie Days Change Years Fade
2.
I’m alive Like you’re alive Inside out And upside down Insane about Staying sane for now Let your fluids Empty out Say you will Say you won’t Help yourself And still you don’t Care about Anything at all Living to fake it Say you will Say you won’t Make yourself It’s old Leave a lung To breathe you in I'm over it It’s dead
3.
Sleep 03:04
Bright lights Shine through the window Tired eyes Stare in empty spaces elsewhere The rain beats against the glass Between the window pane A cold breath of air Softly says your name As the leaves begin to fall onto the ground again I think in steady paces I try to hold my head In the dark all of the stars begin to fall And all of the trees will start to lean into the wall Bright lights Shine through the window Tired eyes Stare in empty spaces elsewhere And we all gasp for air

Kung Lao 02:55 video
You just can’t keep it still Brains went black Your eyes are peeled Fuck this I’m feeding it pills Alive today but not for real We aren’t so far apart When you think about how close we are So far apart when you think about Turn yourself inside out Bleed on it To make it count You just can’t keep it still Your head is back But not for real We aren’t so far apart When you think about how close we are So far apart when you think about how close we are
5.
Breather 02:56
Sundown Suns out Downed star Won’t come around Open your brains now Pray you don’t slip in Breather Is breathing So good at living Built to feel things You know you shouldn’t feel Drowning Drowns out Thoughts you can’t think about Float in the flood now Made this bed yourself Stay asleep
6.
Sink 04:02
Clouds start to form inside of your head I try to pull you up from the flooded riverbed Wish I could be floating and weightless in the sea For now I will sink Float to the top when I am free Drown

FIRST PRESSING:
/111 Black Vinyl w/ Screen Printed B-Sides

Over the past decade, it’s become increasingly in vogue for bands to pay lip service to 90s alt rock, but many of them capture only the most surface level cosmetic elements, missing the critical components that defined that decade’s underground scene. A chorus pedal, a Big Muff, and a flannel don’t go far on their own merits. To put it bluntly, many groups fundamentally do not “get it”. But Baltimore, MD’s Dosser absolutely does.

Where many of their contemporaries are little more than thinly-veiled pop punk acts doing retro cosplay, Dosser gets at the core of what made 90s guitar rock such a compelling force. From leads that hearken back to early Weezer, massive riffs that evoke Jawbox, and razor-sharp pop-rock sensibilities that bring to mind the Foo Fighters’ debut LP, this is a band synthesizing the best parts of various forms into their own potent formula.

Formed in the summer of 2018 by Will Teague, Bret Lanahan, Eric Dudley, and Max Detrich, Dosser’s debut LP finds a band playing at a level well beyond what their short lifespan might suggest. Out now on Really Rad Records, Brainscan is about as strong an opening volley as it gets.
