DORA FLOOD
Lost On Earth (Double Play)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

---

Another band plagued by a dim-witted manager. San Francisco's Dora Flood were in the studio doing demos for Elektra Records, but his bufoonery brought the band/label relationship to a screeching halt.. Unfortunately, they're still under contract with him, but they issued this debut, which is rich in dreamy pop-rock, with The Catherine Wheel and Radiohead embellishments. Great production, good song-writing, and an excellent recording make this CD quite good. Dora Flood dispensed with that manager, at least in the formal sense, and found a home for "Lost On Earth" at Double Play Records. I hope that gentleman has a very brief hold on the band. They deserve so much better. (doraflood.com)
