Felt you loser smile Soaked in your gloom and I feel bruised What if You don't love me? And you're gone Far away I'm failing all the time at everything And then You'll never think of me again Your love hopeless and tough breathless I'm stuck Hoping for the worst the end is near Hiding in your room Have you been forgotten? (Paranoid) You'll never be the same I felt your kiss in my sleep It's hurting more the next day I rest my head at your feet Don't know how good is really real I'm jumping up and down again You cannot feel Your love hopeless and tough breathless I'm stuck

All songs by Mo Dotti except for "All Dressed Up In Dreams" by Stephin Merritt.

"There’s a fine dusting of sugar sparkling atop this latest collection of songs from very good Los Angeles rock band, Mo Dotti. They’re still the pop shoegazers you’ll remember from 2020’s Blurring EP, but the band has dropped some of that release’s heaviness and rougher textures for a gleamier sound that lends even the EP’s most chaotic moments a sense of crunchy sweetness. Still, while the music is as bright and pretty as a sunbeam, the songs themselves never really play along—they’re bendy, moody, and inclined to go strange places, leading Mo Dotti down some interesting, less-trodden paths. It’s clear they can do My Bloody Valentine better than anyone, but honestly, Mo Dotti are just as good if not even more compelling when they start leaning into 90s American indie rock; as on “Come On Music,” where they effortlessly navigate the grey zone between wonky art-rock Blonde Redhead and the Blonde Redhead that gets played in department stores, or the band’s venture into creepy post-punk with the crooked “Hurting Slowly,” which sounds like a janglier Quix*O*Tic or a less icky Superball+ EP outtake."- Mariana Timony (Bandcamp)

"Post-punk grooves lay the foundation for unusually present (though impressionistic in content) vocals for the genre; bright, trebly guitars, noisy wah freakouts and feedback swells, groovy basslines, and of course, dense and LOUD fuzzy guitars. Doses of sweet-and-sour noise-pop meet intricate, multi-structured arrangements, whose strength is matched by within-a few-listens-worth hummable melodies and at the heart of it all: catchy, direct, and simply great songs."-Zach Noel (Post Trash)

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
