The Lost Take reimagines Dosh as the full band he’s always wanted to be. For his third album, he takes his expertly arranged keyboard and drum loops, smashes them, and spreads them wide over his tracks. Instead of puzzle-piecing his pre-recorded session bits into surprisingly organic soundscapes, Dosh builds his miniature opuses out of live improv (his own drumming and Rhodes playing) inspired by raw, written instrumentation (first Dosh’s emotive keyboard/piano progressions; later guitar, saxophone, bass, violin, clarinet and pedal steel from a hand-picked cast of Minneapolis musicians).
