Album Notes

5dots, born Craig Davis and raised just outside Washington, DC in the suburbs of Virginia, has wanted to be a musician all his life.

Davis' traditional musical experience consisted mainly of flirtations with drums and percussion, the influence of which can be heard in the detailed yet organic beat production. Having found his musical niche in the realm of electronic production, Davis twists sounds from eclectic sources to fit his unparalleled style.

Foremost though the sonic manglings and ass-rocking rhythms, however, remains an artistic sincerity that's audible in Davis' defiance of genre constraints and his commitment to the 5dots sound.

5dots brings the laptop rock.

Just listening to this for the first time having got my hands on the promo... Nicely fresh and messy. A lot of mashed up DSP beats, with heavily distorted tunes... Sounds like 5dots has been searching through a lot of data files they aren't supposed to for interesting 'found' sounds. Some real 8-bit aesthetics here. Other comments from the room; "a bit hellfishy," "irritating but nice" and "ooh, a squelch." Something for those who like their music noisy, beaty and broken. Recommended.
