Tommy is the fifth solo studio album by American multi-insturmentalist Dosh. It was released on Anticon on April 13, 2010. [1]
Andrew Bird contributed vocals on "Number 41" and "Nevermet". [11] "Airlift" contains a sample of Dosh and his friend covering " Run Like Hell" by Pink Floyd. [1] The album is named after and dedicated to Tom Cesario. [1]
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 76% based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [3]
Zach Cole of URB gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Dosh's focus on Tommy falls on the elegance of the music first and foremost, and the tracks evoke warmth as they evolve in sequence." [10] He added, "Dosh pays particular attention to the delicate balance of the instruments on each track, making sure that no one sound overpowers another." [10] M. R. Newmark of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying: "This is Dosh taking a step back, slowing down, freaking out a little (check the snarling ending of album finale 'Gare de Lyon'), and making the most personal music of his career." [8]
