The band Red Rooster was kind enough to send me their new 2 cd extravaganza called Dose (I actually begged for it, very pathetic). What they’ve done is very innovative and from my experience a first of sorts. Disc 1 of the two disc set encorporates every bit of technology that would comfortably fit within the structure of the songs (there are samples, turntables, wah-wah, fuzz boxes, vocals through bullhorns and everything but the kitchen sink). Disc 2 has the same songs (in a different order though) but stripped down to their essential elements. The songs are universally great and while the band is based in NYC the sound comes straight from the southwest.
Miles Of Music is one place to buy this double disc and priced at 15.99 it’s an absolute necessity. Support independent bands and considor picking this one up. Here is one song from Dose but two versions of it and a couple more live tracks from their website.
