Dosh is the first solo studio album by American multi-instrumentalist Dosh. Originally released on Dinkytown Records in 2002, it was re-released on Anticon in 2003. It peaked at number 142 on the CMJ Radio 200 chart.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, saying: "Each track sounds careful but chaotic, simple but extreme, as Dosh shines the spotlight on himself and then dissolves into a dozen layers of movement."[3] He added: "More than a drum recital or a set of nice tunes, Dosh's debut is a showcase where he can craft meticulous tracks and then blitz them with spontaneous joy."[3] Dave Segal of East Bay Express said: "His self-titled debut album serves as a calling card to procure work with hot vocalists or MCs seeking a crafty producer with unconventional skills to burn."[2] He called it "a deft display of technical prowess that's begging for an adventurous singer or rapper."[2]
