Dooga Fruit, a project formed by Michael Reynolds and friends, has never taken itself too seriously. After forming the group during their last year of school, they recorded two EPs, played a few shows, and generally had a groovy time. After parting ways for several months, Dooga Fruit returned in a different form. Michael would arrive home from work and experiment late into the night with new song ideas. During the summer of 2014, he moved these ideas to the studio, and the songs took on new life as 10 different musicians provided their own fresh approach. The resulting LP, anchored by the haunting, steady voice of Meghan Stagl, features instruments ranging from synthesizers and layered percussion to bass clarinets, violins, and saxophones. The album, entitled Settle Down, was released in October of 2014.
