Salmon Doza’s bittersweet stories are like the dusk’s chill at the end of a sun-stoned spring day. Brisk poetry, pockmarked by winter’s cruel grasp, besets warm cascades of interweaving harmonies and shit-eating grins. Equal parts power-pop, math-rock, and good ‘ol classic PNW acoustic bummer-jams, bandleader Sam Mendoza leads this current iteration of Salmon Doza — Patrick (drums, vocals), Aidan (bass), and Case (guitar) — through his back catalog for revitalized takes on these well-loved and worn-in songs. Tune in, kick back, and call your friends after.
