Buffalo guy unleashes the ‘Tiger’ – and “You are forgiven if M83 comes to mind”

BUFFALO, NY-based indie/dreamgaze outfit DOTSUN MOON – the brainchild of Richard Flierl – release new album ‘Tiger’ a collection of songs blessed with the spirit of M83, Cocteau Twins, Echo and The Bunnymen, and Psychedelic Furs.

“You are forgiven if M83 comes to mind,” he said. “The inspiration stops at the power of the intro and allows me to launch into the bass and guitar influences that are pronounced throughout this album.

“This is a huge change to prior releases, which have powerful female singers at the centre. On this album, I am on vocals and all the songs are written and played by me from guitars and bass to keyboards, drums and programming. Doug Whiteat Watchmen Studios brought decades of recording and mixing knowledge to the recordings that allows the songs to truly shine.”

Having undergone several reincarnations since 2011’s debut album ‘4 A.M’ multi-instrumentalist Flierl has gradually increased his vocal duties, with his new album a truly solo venture, mixed by Flierl and Doug White.
