Dakotafish - 100 Days
Last time we heard from Dakotafish was in March when the L.A. trio released “Great Ones” for your listening pleasure. As one of the first bands I remember writing about in the early stages of this blog.. I’ve got a major soft spot for these guys. Luckily they happen to be great musicians so quality is never an issue.
I finally got around to giving Dakotafish’s latest effort a proper listen and boy is it great. Many Moons is all sorts of fantastic; it’s complied of tracks that can stand their own and compliment each other very well which is no easy feat. Right now “100 Days,” “We Are Like Gods,” and “Midnight Lemonade” are my favorites but I’m sure I’ll be rotating in a matter of minutes. I just want to know how they do it, really. How is it possible for so many well crafted pop/rock/somewhat-psych/funk jams to be in one place? A steady tempo throughout these ten tracks draws you in and keeps you listening. You should probably get your hands on Many Moons as soon as possible.. I promise it won’t disappoint.

Dakotafish - Great Ones
It’s been a while since we last heard material from L.A. based Dakotafish. This is massive.. I mean this song literally feels massive. “Great Ones” seems so different from the two tracks released last summer “Jitter” and “Impossible Histories”. Where “Jitter” was more of a glitchy pop track, and “Impossible Histories” a playful/almost funky song.. “Great Ones” is solid. It’s hard to listen and not think of Local Natives, or Glass Vaults (their song “Forget Me Not,” in particular)—pretty much any act that combines great vocals and prominent percussion. A wonderful return for Dakotafish! Nice to see some of our favorite acts from last summer beginning to release material again.
