Mo Dotti

Hello, I've been waiting to make a blog about music I like for a long time, and since I am stuck inside/jobless for 

foreseeable future.....here we go.

Mo Dotti, is my favorite band from Los Angeles, I've seen them more than I've seen any other band here. They check off every box that makes my ears perk, shoegazey textures, mixed with energetic drumming and smart songwriting. But, unlike alot of shoegazey bands, Mo Dotti's songs are these winding compositions that switch up with subtle transitions and drum breaks that offer more than typical verse/chorus/verse/bridge type songs. We will call it working class shoegaze. They dont just float into the ether with nothing to grab onto(but pedals all being pressed), and they dont pummel you with the masculine down tempos of alot of their contemporaries. On their resently release ep "Blurring" the closest band that comes to mind is a more complex The Sundays, with guitar parts that truly resemble Johnny Marr at the height of his powers. Ginas melodies are sticky as fuck, its pop music but its grower pop, youll find yrself humming the melodies when you wake up in the morning or doing some mindless task, and boom, the little ear wormis there. Its the sorta music you could imagine having a blissful happy moment that you collapse onto the couch with joy.   Something else of note is all of the songs start off with the drums, like "Waiting for You" kicks off with four in yr face snare smashes and the song pummels you w lovely bending beauty. Within these 5 tracks there is a whole world of textures, blurring vocals, and frequencies that will send you to the moon and back. So, yea, heres a link to their bandcamp, do it.
