for anyone and youby Mo Dotti

The debut full-length album from this Los Angeles band is a strong set of soaring, dreamy, confident shoegaze. While much of ‘opaque’ showcases Mo Dotti’s refreshing take on the classic shoegaze formula, the album also offers up gritty jolts of noise-pop and blissful, gauzy fuzz-pop numbers, and the band showcases a sharp pop sensibility throughout with an assured fusion of big guitars, enveloping feedback, and Gina Negrini’s warm, ethereal vocals. www.kexp.org The band’s name is inspired by Tina Modotti, an Italian photographer and communist revolutionary known for her work in Mexico during the early 20th century. recorded and mixed by joey oaxaca at studio 22 and mo dotti at studio h in los angeles. mastered by mark gardener. mo-dotti.bandcamp.com

Los Angeles-based Mo Dotti's Gina Negrini reveals, "The namesake Mo Dotti has been a blanket title for different evolutions of songwriting. "It started off with just me looping a drum machine, guitars, and bass. It was challenging to recreate live! Guy (Valdez, guitar) and I started writing songs together and then it was him and I looping the material live. Eventually, our friends Brian (Rodriguez) and Shelly (Schimek) would join on bass and drums and helped us write and record the songs on Blurring and Guided Imagery. Guy and I are inspired by pretty much all of the same bands, and the music has evolved into something a lot louder. "Now, our friend Andrew Mackelvie (Moaning, Fashion Club) plays drums and is producing our recordings with us and our other charming friend named Greg Shilton is our bass player (French Vanilla, Post Life). "All of us became friends playing the same spots in LA and working at the same movie theater. Mo Dotti used to play with all of those aforementioned bands regularly." tinyurl.com
