Review by Vivek Nagrani

Capri Sun by The Miami Dolphins: A Wild Ride Through Experimental Rock Alright, so let’s talk about Capri Sun by The Miami Dolphins. Released back in 2012, this self-released gem is a chaotic yet strangely beautiful dive into experimental rock. It’s not your typical rock album—far from it. This thing feels like someone took all the rules of music, tossed them out the window, and then lit the window on fire. And honestly? I’m here for it. Let’s start with “Dominion,” because holy crap, does this track slap. From the opening riff, you can tell The Miami Dolphins aren’t messing around. There’s something raw and untamed about it, like they’re daring you to keep up. Patrick Larkin’s recording gives it that gritty edge, while Travis Nordahl’s mixing somehow keeps everything cohesive even when it sounds like total chaos. You know those songs where you’re just vibing along, and suddenly there’s this weird noise or tempo shift that makes you go, “Wait…what?” Yeah, that happens here, but instead of being annoying, it pulls you deeper into their world. By the time the song ends, you feel like you’ve been through some kind of sonic warzone—and weirdly enough, you enjoyed every second. Then there’s “Pink Bird.” Oh man, this one sticks with me for totally different reasons. At first listen, it feels almost playful, like a quirky little tune you’d hum without thinking too hard about it. But as it builds, layers of sound creep in—distorted guitars, eerie synths, maybe even what sounds like someone whispering under the mix? (Or am I losing my mind?) Whatever it is, it gives me chills every time. It’s haunting, but in a good way, like staring at an abstract painting that makes no sense but still hits you right in the soul. Kevin Scheid’s artwork deserves a shoutout too—it perfectly matches the vibe of the album. It’s colorful, chaotic, and kinda trippy, just like the music inside. Honestly, looking at it feels like listening to the record itself: unpredictable but oddly satisfying. What strikes me most about Capri Sun is how unapologetically weird it is. In a world full of cookie-cutter albums designed to please everyone, The Miami Dolphins said, “Nah, we’re gonna do whatever the hell we want.” And yeah, maybe not every track lands perfectly, but that’s part of its charm. It’s messy, it’s bold, and it’s real. As I sit here typing this review, sipping actual Capri Sun (ironic, huh?), I realize something: life’s better when you embrace the unexpected. Sure, this album might not be for everyone, but isn’t that the point? If you’re tired of the same old stuff and wanna hear something that’ll make your brain tingle, give Capri Sun a spin. Just don’t blame me if “Dominion” gets stuck in your head for days.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The Miami Dolphins’ album *Capri Sun* isn’t about the drink or football. It’s a 2012 experimental rock project from the US. The band self-released it, giving it a raw, DIY vibe. The track "Venice Beach Widowed" stands out with its moody tone.
