2008 release from Dora Flood! Their 7th album(and, if you`ve not heard of or heard this band, this is a great one to begin with!) and certainly one of my favorite after two full, active listenings to "Dream Out Your Window". Dora Flood mixes the sounds of Boo Radleys, The Church(listen to Song #3 below), some Velvet Crush in a psychy mood, Stone Roses, Spacemen 3 and lots of Rainbow Quartz-styled bands - there`s lots of echo-y 12 string jangle all over the place. "They expertly mix together a melange of power-60`s psych-pop influences, bold and vibrant production and some damn good songs."-Big Takeover. "" Dora Flood is pushing ahead while dragging the past along with them. Trippy light shows and hanging out in the �60s gets kicked up a notch and a few decades to a sonic assult and swirled guitars slipping over harmonizing vocals and driving rhythms. The songs do lapse into a hypnotic flow once in awhile, but the fuzz of the guitar always scoops you up and out of the psychedelic guitar waves and throws you headfirst into the next song."-The Red Alert. "This was written about their last album, "We Live Now" but the words apply accurately here: If Dora Flood have a reliable standby it`s soothing but stoned harmonies mixed with exultant guitar, something that inevitably calls to mind everything from the Association and late-`60s Byrds to proto-metal like Steppenwolf. Classic tripping out is unsurprisingly in evidence. o question that Dora Flood are out to revisit a past that never quite was rather than projecting where things might go next, but with this as a given, this release is a pure treat, full stop."-AMG. Another Winner in a catalog of consistently excellent, challenging releases.
