Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
So, earlier today, you saw my review of last night's show at the Granada, which was a fairly good time in my book. It was a big, fun, Austin-imported night. Now, a bonus...
Actually, make that two.
Bonus mp3:
There's actually a little more going on with this track than on most of The Black Angels' stuff. "Doves" starts off more raucous than plodding, more active than slow-and-steady. And that's perfectly OK. Good, actually. Quite good.
Bonus mp3:
A perfectly irresistible pop, which is something that's absolutely always welcome on my player. This description's gonna make you think this song's terrible but I can't help but describe it as a blend of '70s pop and mid-'90s post-grunge era pop. Like...hmmm...Edwin McCain meets America, but with more alt-country twang. I know that sounds (and, yes, feel free to imagine me doing this in Wilonsky's voice, Ticket listeners) terrible, but it's actually quite tasty and delicious, thank you very much.
Anyway, enjoy. --Pete Freedman
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
