YAYYYYYY!
January 11th 2023.
Helloooo....
These are NEWS posts, they will be short, sweet, and the lofi or 10 second death metal equivalent of my content, because they need to be posted as soon as I can get them out there to stay current. So lets go.
So, Dopamine is a WONDERFUL Scottish band thats influences are about as diverse as my music taste, which means theres a core of major ones, and hundreds of less visible, but equally important others. They describe themselves as "experimental alt rock" and quite frankly I think thats the perfect description, it definitely fits with what they do. They can make the near 5 minute banger without overstaying their welcome, or make a 2 and a half minute song feel more fleshed out than 99% of songs that length because they cut the shit and keep the substance, and understand timing & pacing REALLY well.
So far they have released 5 songs. Sorry, Self Made, 3am, Youll Be Fine, Sick Of You, Perfection, Perfection, Perfection, Perfection, and...... also Perfection. They were my best new artist find of 2022, are going to appear on those mythical year end lists that eventually will get posted very often, and all around are poised for enormous success. That leads us to the other day when they teased, and gave us a date for Fly, the final single from their upcoming debut album Deficiency.
Fly, presently, has had the band name Nirvana while talking about it, it in essence sounds like a grunge tinged ballad, theres some delicious acoustic guitars on there, and it frankly sounds like its gonna do that thing with the feelings you know, when they punch you in the fuckin' gut? Of course we have no vocals... yet, but regardless, what we do have sounds extremely promising.
Whether you already know and love Dopamine, are a fan that just hasnt heard them yet, or just wanna support a new band, all of which are great things, I can confidently from an objective and subjective perspective, insist that you give this band a listen.
If you want to make sure you dont forget to check out the song, and you want to hear it as soon as it drops (trust me, you do), you might wanna give it the good old presave here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dopamine51/fly
