Dos y dos


dos y dos is an experimental indie album, the fourth by the band dos and the first release in fifteen years by the band. It is a double bass guitar side project for Mike Watt and Kira Roessler. The two were married from 1987–1994.
Watt wanted dos y dos to have less vocals than the previous album, Justamente tres.

Reception

Metro Times called the album "fascinating, experimental and enjoyable" with "an almost spiritual, world music feel to the songs." Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange said "Dos Y Dos has a charming storybook character to it, seemingly accompaniment for a Roald Dahl film that was never made." L.A. Record praised the album and likened it to listening to a "quiet, melodic, throbbing conversation." Spectrum Culture praised the musicianship but said the album was "great for having a think, but it ultimately lacks any major distinction." SLUG magazine appreciated the album saying it was "a whole lot of history filtered through rather sparse instrumentation."
