The Dacoits - debut album now out
Sat 14 Nov 2009 17:14
Well it's taken a long time, countless hours, and Pete drove himself to the brink of sanity mixing it, but finally the Dacoits debut album is complete!

You can have a listen to nine of the eleven tracks on myspace (suffering a bit from the crappy compression on there):
www.myspace.com/thedacoits

You can also order a CD for only £6 (including p&p) and buy from itunes, amazon mp3 and loads of other sites. I'd recommend amazon mp3, it's on there for the bargain price of £3.99.

Go to our website for clicky clicky links:
http://thedacoits.co.uk/

Enjoy!

It's a fine album Neil both in terms of the songs, the performance, the production, the way it's packaged, everything about it works.

One of the best local releases I have ever heard, it more than holds it's own with nationally released albums.

Sterling work!

Gigs!!

4th Feb - The Victoria, Swindon

26th Feb - The Thunderbolt, Bristol

26th Mar, The Tunnels, Bristol (TBC)

27th Mar - The Bear, Marlborough


Also, we've had some great reviews of the album which are certainly worth pimping...


“The Dacoits are understandably one of our absolute favourite bands. The debut album is a complete triumph, dark and gritty, with enough room for some tranquility and inspiration. The production is luscious, clearly The Dacoits have invested a lot of love here. Seeing them live is a joy. This band are all powerful, and we love them.” BBC INTRODUCING


“Fusing the lyrical translucence of PJ Harvey, with the musical intensity of Garbage, we’d go as far, as to suggest The Dacoits debut album deserves a whole genre of its own entitled ‘Poetical Garage’... It’s been a long time in the making, but with 11 tracks of faultless bliss, we can safely say, it was well worth the wait.” OXFORDSHIRE MUSIC SCENE


"Polly Jean is a regular reference point throughout the album, singer Carrie Rossiter possessed of a similarly gravelly, searching vocal style and lyrical disposition on the best songs here. Where The Dacoits are strongest is in these darker moods when Carrie’s full of a starchy, witchy angst and the band are grinding out a gothic form of garage-pop.” NIGHTSHIFT MAGAZINE


“We can safely say this is the strongest album of the year, more than living up to the bands world class live shows. We look forward to whatever The Dacoits choose to do next.” RAGDOLL MAGAZINE


“The Dacoits have released their first studio album to much critical acclaim…..they inhibit a darker and somewhat mysterious world… their music is original, atmospheric, carefully constructed and well produced….” CITIZEN CANE
