Review:
The Bendays – Dots

Dots is the dapper debut album from The Bendays, a side project from RI rocker Andy Davis. Released under Davis’ own label, Submodern, the record is a collection of impassioned, organic songs that seem a bit more off-the-cuff than those of his main gig, Pixels.

The album doesn’t take itself too seriously, with the right combination of grit and modesty. The styles effectively run the gamut, from”Midnight Marge,” a loose noir-ish song in the vein of the Pixies, to upbeat rocker “Lonely (What Can I Do?).” ”Bogus Lives” is a kind of choral, dark piano ballad.

Another cool thing is that Dots was recorded on all analog gear, meaning the old timey way with tape and whatnot. I can’t claim to hear any difference, and I don’t have it in me to be the guy with the $800 speakers, but I can respect the organic way.

It’s neat when a side project becomes as good as the main project, and Dots gets high marks from me. Be sure to check out other Submodern Records releases in the future.
