A few years ago I first heard dios (malos)‘ “Starting Five” and I loved it. So when their eponymous, sophomore album came out in 2005 I picked it up along with a few other CDs. I listened to it twice and then sadly it got buried under a big, fat pile of new music. The only song that lingered in my brain was the single “I Want It ALL” because it’s so darn catchy. Everytime I flipped by the CD I thought ‘I should listen to it again … but not right now’, so thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for Backtrack! Now that I’ve listened to it again, I feel really bad that I ignored it so long, because they’re lovely. They make layered indie pop that bounces between Blur and The Beatles, with a summery sweetness that makes you want to jump in a fountain and go La Dolce Vita crazy.
The song that made me want to buy the CD:
dios (malos) – Starting Five
A B-side I had hidden in a folder:
dios (malos) – Dumb After All
The first song that caught my ear:
dios (malos) – I Want It ALL
My favorite song off dios (malos):
dios (malos) – Grrrl…
They just finished recording their new record and this time I definitely won’t wait two years to give it the time of day. Listen to more songs on dios (malospace).
