*The Naoise EP is Martin Dosh's second solo release after his acclaimed self-titled debut on anticon. Dosh returns again equipped with his trademark busted Rhodes piano, a tattered-ass drum kit, a sampler and an assortment of effects pedals. There is nobody who makes music like Dosh.
The title track was initially spawned from a jel beat recorded in Dosh's studio during a visit to Minneapolis. After Dosh tweaked the sample and assembled a song around it, it was sent to an enthusiastic odd nosdam who called in why? & miss ohio's drummer Josiah Wolf to help out. By the time the song was finished it was again altered by Dosh, including the appearance of Dosh's stepson Tadhg. The title track is also the lead single from Dosh's October '04 full length, Pure Trash. Andrew Broder (aka Fog) contributes a remix of the album version of "Rock It to the Next Episode" and Huntley Miller (aka Cepia, Ghostly International) contributes his own distinctive interpretation of the event with his remix of "Naoise." The EP also contains two brand new, exclusive tracks and two impressive live performances of "Contractions" and "Steve the Cat." The live songs demonstrate Dosh doing what Dosh does best-- completely live and spontaneous performances with no sequencing, which is his art.
