Another slice of Alt-Country from yes, you guessed it Portland Oregon, the mecca it would seem of the Alt-Country-Americana world. I’m surprised they haven’t been picked up yet on any blogs. Dolorean make dreamy sounding Alt-Country which will have you staring out of rain lashed windows for hours dreaming of a better place. They have released three albums already but I have to admit I’ve only recently just heard about them through my friend Shaun, at Gilded palace of sin in Brighton, after his recomendation of the album ‘you can’t win’ which is their latest of the three. It is an album of lush sounds similar to the likes of Justin Rutledge, Damien Jurado, Denison witmer as well as other established Alt-Country acts such as Richmond Fontaine. Sadly I missed their Brighton gig recently as I was otherwise engaged seeing Ray LaMontagne at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
In my opinion Dolorean are as good as anything coming out of the Alt -Country scene right now and it’s criminal that they are being overlooked. Give them a chance, I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
