These guys were suggested by my pal Merz at Mars Needs Guitars who writes a fine blog, with an absolute ton of good tunes that I've mostly never heard before, which is always nice. As much as I like reading other people's views on music, there's something extra fine about being introduced to decent bands or songs you didn't know beforehand; works for me, anyhow... so for definitely not more of the same as you'll find here, get over there & say hi.
On to the music then: the band in question is Dora Flood, who have six albums and an EP, from 1995-2008 available for free download on their website, and if a plate of dreamy rock/pop with an undeniable sideorder of psychedelia (in the left-hand dish, of course) sounds like your idea of a decent blue-plate special, then imagine yourself moonstruck, in some long-lost seventies road movie, California sun & wind in your hair, stopping at a hazy, half-remembered diner... take a seat at the counter, hear the ice clinking, and just soak it all up - this is the soundtrack.
♫ Entangled

Thanks for the kind words Mate! Glad you like Dora Flood too. Amazing that they are offering all their albums up for free. And thanks for the comments over at MNG, good to know that I got a Brother out there who cares!
