...according to our Brett on 02 September 2010.
This one came out on CD a bit ago but when Siltbreeze deem fit to stick something out on vinyl it usually pays to sit up and take a bit of notice. The press release mentions proper good shit like Syd Barrett and The Shadow Ring and it's to The Doozer's credit that this one-man band doesn't suffer from the comparison, combining the whimsical oddness and something of the vocal style of the former with the lo-fi 'kitchen sink' approach to instrumentation and slightly unsettling air of the latter in very fine style. There's undoubtedly a New Zealand-y flavour to it too and seeing as Brian knows far more about that stuff than I do I'll defer to his comparison with 'early Chills'. Interesting.. Veeeery interesting.
Originally released as a CD on the UK label Pickled Egg in 2009, Great Explorers is the second full-length effort from one man dynamo The Doozer. Siltbreeze was delightfully chuffed to make its acquaintance (by way of Matt Valentine s suggestion) and agreed to release it unto all the world on the much sought-after vinyl format. Hailing from Cambridge, England, The Doozer bears an almost uncanny vocal resonance to past legend Syd Barrett, as well as a knack for cobbling together occasional found-tape narration with string-strum and hypnotic percussive plonk not unlike The Shadow Ring. The gin doesn't come much pinker than this. Great Explorers is limited to 500 copies and includes a freedownload.
