Rob Dobson : New Dystopia
Los Angeles based Rob Dobson quietly released his stellar debut album New Dystopia last month. The songs are simple, the production on point. This album would’ve been the darling of the early 2000s No Depression magazine era. It perfectly sways throughout with wafts of lap steel, sun-drenched guitar picking, and good just ol’ fashion guitar rock undertones. I’d probably nestle this album near my World Party, Belle and Sebastian, Son Volt, Neil Young, and Fruit Bats albums. I guarantee you’ll be sharing this album with friends during the lockdown.
