I first heard about Dosh when I saw Andrew Bird live a few years ago. He was only playing drums and Rhodes, but he added so much more to Bird's music and I think really influenced Armchair Apocrypha in a positive way. I remember looking him up as soon as possible, because the new Andrew Bird songs that they played sounded amazingly awesome (Plasticities, Simple X [which I found out later to be a re-vamped Dosh song]). Dosh's solo work, though more electronic, is something worth checking out if you haven't already. His fourth album entitled “Wolves and Wishes” will be released 5-13-08. After you hear this song I hope you're as excited for the album as I am. The album will be featuring guest appearances by Andrew Bird, Will Oldham (Bonnie 'Prince Billy), and David King (drummer for the Bad Plus).
