Take a trip to an elevated and dark New Zealand Trip-hop land, where the mood is sexual and the sounds are wet. The tracks by Doprah are purely prickly and make us all hot and bothered beneath the waistline. The Primal bass lines contradict gently the soft and celestial melody to create a vibe filled with intent. The contrast leads to a wide and resonating sound that is only made better with Indi Force‘s vocals. Very very dope. A must listen, malevolently dulcet.
"We’re lost, but we’re safe. We’re doomed, but we know it. And there’s a strange peace to be found in this wasteland." - Yours Truly
"Beautifully understated compositions rooted in Radiohead’s family of theremin synths and the weaving texture of male and female vocals." - Pigeons and Planes
"Falling in love with Christchurch duo DOPRAH was a little bit like jumping into the ocean with bricks attached to my ankles (in the best possible way)" - Purple Sneakers
"Perfectly moody. Driven by that visceral chain-gang beat, and set against that Radiohead-esque baseline, you can’t help but be hypnotized" - Portals
"Like the roots of a tree that twist, turn and go everywhere they please, the psychedelic drug tripping sounds of Doprah on “San Pedro” not only go in the ground but they also root up and out into an ethereal haze of drug induced sonic waves" - Hilly Dilly
Doprah's self-titled EP is set to be release on 10 June through Arch Hill. Listen/watch new single 'Love That I Need' and 'San Pedro' below or check them out at any and all of their upcoming shows!
