Track: Hamburger Help Us - 1 of 13
Album: Shoot In The Dark

With the ability to confuse and amaze at the same time, Dakota/Dakota is a dangerous trio that you don't want to cross. Like a musical experiment gone horribly awry, while listening to the bands debut album you wonder to yourself, "How many arms, hands, and/or fingers do these three people possess that give them the ability to put together songs the way they have". Thick instrumental arrangements are what await you on this disc. Arrangements that bring to mind the genius of composers such as Mendelssohn and Mahler more so than any of the modern indie rock groups that they draw comparisons to.

The more you listen, the more layers that show themselves and the harder you are sucked into the tunes. The most amazing thing about Dakota/Dakota is that they have created instrumental tracks that speak to the listener. Through the instruments you feel the words coming right at you. Wit, sarcasm and biting satire all from a band that doesn't breath a word.

Dakota/Dakota has shared the stage with The Killing Tree, The Casket Lottery, Minus The Bear, Dianogah, Fordirelifesake, Rescue, Chris Broach, Rollo Tomasi, La Mantra De Fhiqria and many others. They feature ex-members of Wolfie and The Like Young. People like to compare them to Sweep The Leg Johnny, Tristeza, Pele, and Yes.

This album was recorded at Danderlust studios by Mike Lust (Lustre King, Sweep The Leg Johnny, Lying In States, Ten Grand, Stillwell). (Arms Reach Recordings)
