Return to Mar Music Reviews 2023
If you're searching for something dark and brooding, yet laced with an underlying sense of hope, Dosser is a band you need to check out. Their latest release is a beautiful contradiction—a record drenched in melancholy and weight, yet somehow capable of making you smile as you get lost in its soundscapes.
From the highly emotive vocals that drip with feeling to the low-tuned, rumbling basslines, Dosser has carefully crafted an album that resonates deeply. Every note feels intentional, every lyric cuts through with raw honesty, and the atmosphere they create is nothing short of immersive. This isn’t just music—it’s a mood, a journey through shadow and light.
Production-wise, the mixing is seamless, allowing the layers of distorted guitars, steady percussion, and haunting melodies to blend together effortlessly. The album has a consistent sonic identity, with many tracks sharing a similar vibe, but rather than feeling repetitive, it all flows naturally, making the experience feel cohesive rather than monotonous.
Dosser has managed to strike a rare balance—this album is both emotionally heavy and sonically satisfying, a solid addition to the alternative and post-hardcore landscape. Whether you’re drawn to dark, introspective music or just appreciate well-crafted, deeply atmospheric sound, this release is one worth diving into.
