DOOIE MUS
'III'
Album Review
For fans of: Kÿhl, The Rabbit Theory, Wolverines, Tropical Ice Land and Attack Robot Attack
Full transparency, I agreed to premiere this album but simply got buried under work, family, playing a show, and trying to find money to finance my releases. So now that I'm late to the game, I figured a release review was at least owed to the band who put a lot of time and effort into their new album 'III' by DOOIE MUS from the Netherlands.
First releasing a decade ago in 2016, this two-piece emo/screamo band has released at least five times before this new five-song album dropped at the end of January. Their stripped-down but danceable screamo bares resemblance to bands like Wolverines and The Rabbit Theory, utilizing clean guitars and screaming over groovy drums. The first four tracks follow this formula with standout being "... De Bazen Gaan Naar Hun Villa's" which is a poppy/start-stop screamo jam that gets an electric jolt a minute-and-a-half in that almost borders of emo-violence. "Kringloop Van Verdriet" is also worth a mention as it begins with heavier instrumentals and cathartic screams before jumping in and out of emo-violence and calming dreamy guitars. The album ends with a whopping 13-minute opus titled "Humans (II)" that lends a bit of its massive and epic sound to bands like Daitro and Kÿhl.
