With his Spring US tour cancelled, David Dondero has instead pored through hours of cell-phone video from years of touring to put together a stirring video for “Laying At Your Feet”, a rare love song from his latest LP, The Filter Bubble Blues.
For those wondering…according to the Oxford dictionary a “filter bubble” is “a situation in which an Internet user encounters only information and opinions that conform to and reinforce their own beliefs, caused by algorithms that personalize an individual’s online experience”.
The Filter Bubble Blues, Dondero’s 10th LP, is a biting, wary, heartbroken and sometimes hilarious sendup of the dumpster fire that is modern American political theatre and identity politics. Songs of a place hellbent on robbing itself of the last vestiges of what once made it great – or could’ve made it great if there had ever been any truth in it. And rest assured, he’d been looking for the truth in it, and in us.
