After 2003's
Not Exotic and 2005's
Violence in the Snowy Fields, Dolorean became an underdog favorite with national critics, writers, and a loyal following of fans. Now, with
You Can't Win, their third Yep Roc release, Dolorean delivers another collection of melancholy and stunningly beautiful folk pop songs. Singer Al James completed the eleven new songs here after Dolorean's 2005 European tour, and before long, the band performed the set live at two gigs within two weeks at one bar in their hometown of Portland, OR. After these two brief outings, James and cohorts promptly went into the studio and recorded all the basic tracks in one weekend. Cinematic and haunting in their imagery, the songs on
You Can't Win - from thespooky opening percussion on the title track to the closing notes of "My Still Life" - confirm the critical accolades.
