Self-released

After a busy summer and fall spent touring, Dopapod has released its most fully realized recording yet. Redivider continues the band’s mix of rock, improvisational funk, electronic dance music and even pop. Recorded at the renovated barn at Tyrone Farm in eastern Connecticut. These nine tracks represent the band’s most progressive songs ( “Weird Charlie,” “Stada” ) and most youthful ( “Braindead,” “Trapper Keeper” ) – the latter two have jubilant, layered vocal harmonies embraced by circular, chugging guitars a la a lost Weezer track. “Vol 3. #86” blends synthesized bleeps and blips with reggae Hammond swells, and starts and stops time and again throughout its seven minutes, coming across like Umphrey’s McGee. The slow build and hammering rhythms of the epic instrumental “My Elephant Vs.Your Elephant” is a late night rager for sure.
