Doloroso – ‘Godless’ (Trial and Error) Released 18/09/06

Well they have a godawful name and aren’t anything like as ‘different’ as they think they are but Doloroso are still a reasonably nifty band who are write some lyrically strong songs. And it’s pretty damn hard to do anything different these days, anyway. Frequently described as ‘cinematic’ and likened to David Lynch and other dreamlike creators of cultural entities, these chaps do sound like they recorded their stuff during those dying minutes of consciousness at 3am before drifting off into a world of floating preachers and meandering LSD trips. Back down on earth, it won’t blow your grandma’s socks off or any of that indie nonsense but it’s worth lending a lughole to.
