Minneapolis-based electronic/ambient electronic musician Martin Dosh returns with his fifth album, which will feature a guest vocal by collaborator Andrew Bird (who used a track from Dosh’s last CD as a rhythm track on his Noble Beast CD). The CD is the follow up to 2008’s Wolves & Wishes and is touted as being more improvisational and instrumentally full than that effort. Along with sampled sounds, 15 musicians were employed, chiming in on everything from acoustic bass to pedal steel to Mini Korg. The album’s title isn’t a reference to the Who’s rock opera; instead it’s a tribute to Dosh’s longtime soundman and friend, Tom Cesario, who died two years ago.
