Dora Flood - We Live Now

A long time favorite here for 7 years, Dora Flood mixes the sounds of Boo Radleys, Dandy Warhol, 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. "3 1/2 stars.. Dora Flood`s latest album of psyched-out fuzz is, indeed, just that -- and there`s no sin in doing it very well. Taking the tack that one can be massively heavy but can still find the pop in it all -- something that Josh Homme has long since demonstrated is an entirely feasible approach -- Dora Flood`s own long career hasn`t been as celebrated but deserves an ear; We Live Now is a good entry for the curious. 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, thus the blend of light falsetto and rising and falling keyboards on "Atlantis," spiked with a total guitar snarl on the chorus."-AMG.

" Dora Flood is pushing ahead while dragging the past along with them. Trippy light shows and hanging out in the Œ60s 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 third track, Ã�Â³Feels Like Yesterday,Ã�Â² almost does feel like yesterday. Like some drawn out Doors solo before the inevitable freak-out. Like a Jefferson Airplane flashback tied to a Ride-inspired brit-pop jam. The next song moves a few steps over, getting all blues-grooved and snarly, like a Louisiana bad-trip, but manŠ the music can save you. So keep listening. Dora Flood washes over you and pulls you along, slides you through‹an adventure that ends on a slow and mellow but spaciously beautiful song titled Ã�Â³Light.Ã�Â²"-The Red Alert. Not an release to be missed by fans of Rainbow Quartz band and 60s psych-pop jangle.
