Once again written and recorded in their home studio, Blood Doctor Volume One is the next iteration of their creative process. In addition to playing synths, drums, bass and guitars, Mitchell also records and produces the band’s albums. “Sounds we were inspired by this time were recycling trucks, mechanical telephone switching systems and electronic voice phenomena,” he continues. “We used a wide range of instruments and equipment to create a careful selection of textures.”
Their third album as Mojave Phone Booth, Blood Doctor Volume One, melds abrasive textures, melodic song structures and propulsive electronic rhythms into a singular combination of sounds. Relentless and meticulous, with immaculate attention to detail and surgical precision, they have crafted their most aggressive and experimental work to date. The album has been preceded by the release of the singles “Unrelated,” “Capsule Change,” and “Ceramic”
Tobey Torres-Doran was the lead vocalist and frontperson for Snake River Conspiracy, touring the world with bands such as A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age, Filter and others. In addition to being signed to Warner Records, she also sang as a session vocalist on various recordings for Warner/Reprise Records.
Mitchell J Doran was employed in his teens as a session musician and recording engineer on releases for labels such as Warner, working with the likes of Queensryche and Dio. He was then recruited to Snake River Conspiracy as lead guitarist and programmer, thus beginning the creative relationship with Tobey that eventually became Mojave Phone Booth.
Their second and most recent album, Hollow The Numbers (2023), was a testament to fearless creativity. Written and recorded in their home studio in the Bay Area of Northern California, it was a stellar example of their ‘studio as instrument’ approach. Not only did they draw from an eclectic collection of analog gear, but they also elevated the craft by building much of that equipment themselves.
Arresting in its immediacy, Blood Doctor Volume One draws its listeners into a world of palpable tension and searing emotional depth. Imbued with otherworldly sonic innovation, Mojave Phone Booth thrives in the space where industrial rock meets analog electronic experimentation.
