Dotsun Moon’s ‘Tiger’ album is an unmissable treat for lovers of 90s influenced sounds. Released in June 2025 and coming a full nine years after the previous full length Dotsun release, you could never accuse multi-instrumentalist Richard Fliel of hurrying his work, but you can hear the love that went into this long overdue second album from the moment you hit the play button. Taking in influences as disparate as Harold Budd, mid 80s Wire, ‘Disintegration’ era Cure and applying a liberal amount of his own style, Richard created a work that often felt familiar, but deep enough to feel like something that would ultimately grow beyond its (admittedly great) musical touchstones.
