Description
DIOS MALOS hail from Hawthorne, California home of THE BEACH BOYS.
Their music is a warm, layered mix of blissful Californian pop, slacker indie rock and fuzzed-out bursts of psychedelic weirdness.
For contemporary sound comparisons, look no further than the early (and best) mid-fi recordings of GRANDADDY, the quirky vocal-driven pop of WEEZER or the more grand, spatial tones of THE FLAMING LIPS or MERCURY REV, only in sweet, scaled-down acoustic mode.
For more retro sound comparisons, see the aforementioned Beach Boys, THE BEATLES and every indie kid's big daddy, NEIL YOUNG (whose classic "Birds" is covered with aplomb).
Hotly tipped to kick onto bigger and finer things, Dios Malos has been picked by influential UK mag NME as One of the Top 10 Bands to Watch this year.
Oz version sports 3 bonus tracks; two from the 'Los Arboles' EP (including a remix of "All Said & Done" by D.SARDY), and a special recording of "Everyday" exclusive to this release.
