INFORMATION |
|
Packaged with 8 track bonus disc for first orders: new release date, press running...this is skewed blissful pop for the summer...Brand new on the revitalized Buddyhead label, the new DIOS album:....."WE ARE DIOS" finds dios going back to what they do best: recording in their home studio with
intent to blow minds. dios reinforce their experimental approach to song arrangement,
instrumentation and studio-craft with the idea that well written SONGS are the strong point to
any album.
After a brief foray into the world of professional recording with the Phil Ek (Shins, Modest
Mouse) produced sophomore effort "dios (malos)", the band felt compelled to once again
embrace their fusion of budget gear, DIY-fi and spiritual melodic devotion that had defined their
previous efforts, this time adding a greater degree of sonic experimentation and genre-bending.
Taking an almost Howard Hughes-ian approach during the recording process, leader Joel
Morales largely disappeared from the Los Angeles music scene to commit the better part of a
three-year period toward realizing and expanding the schizophrenic combination of powerful
melodies and compelling arrangements that debut effort “dios” hinted at. Songs melt together,
creating a pocket-symphonic-folk-song-cycle in which leitmotifs drift in and out, aurally
suggesting a Fellini score played over the Electric Kool-Aid acid test. Ask for a listening promo. This is a great album, and will bring the summer with repeated playing!

| 4/5 Review in Latest Uncut, 3/5 Review in latest Mojo.
“Dios are dry and spacy, as indebted to Neil Young as they are to Brian Wilson.
Constantly shifting focus-- from earnest folk-singing to found-sound
experimenting to deliquescent indie psych-pop-- Dios are also stubbornly
contemporary, a quirky, whimsical bit of California past, present and future.”
Pitchfork
“Their sound weaves together the blissed-out pop textures of Sister Lovers-era
Big Star, the perverse production sensibilities of the Flaming Lips, and pure
California mellow psychedelia.” Allmusic
“The schizophrenic, loopy and all-powerful world that Dios makes its home in is
one for the diehards, for the bachelors for life, for those who don't have room for
any new friends for the mistress - the all encompassing one - is the perfect song
and it's a lady that can only be touched by the dedicated." Daytrotter |
