Dolorean's fourth record, "The Unfazed," brings them to to the kind of rainy, but resolute mood that singer/songwriter Al James seems most comfortable in. Their sound may have been best summed up by bass player James Adair's father-in-law, as "a mood of acceptance without despair, or should I say, disappointment without resignation."
In "Black Hills Gold" Al James digs deep into this melancholy while exploring the death of Dennis Wilson -- Beach Boys drummer and enduring object of fascination for James who describes him as the "Adonis of the 60s." The day Wilson drowned at Marina Del Rey in La he'd been diving for personal treasures which were lost to the sea, thrown in after a fight with his lover years before. Together with director Dicky Dahl, James pays homage to Wilson and the tale of his last efforts to hold on to the pain, and passion, of his past.
