Tune In Saturdays: Dr. Dog
I know you guys have missed my usual 3 part harmonies, beach boys comparisons and beatles infused indie rock, so, to get back on track, I present you with Dr. Dog. These Philly boys bleed 60's pop/rock, with vocals creeping towards the edge of screaming, choppy organs and low-fi grittiness. It's the sort of music that makes it easy to bang out a drum solo on your steering wheel.
From Helium:
"Like much of their other stuff, We All Belong is an album filled with modern pop sounds. However these sounds are clearly influenced by older artists such as the Beatles, and, of all bands, the Moody Blues. You have easy drum beats, like on bongos mixed with smooth vocals. The guitar riffs are suave and cool and the album listens like butter. There is a depth and complexity in this album that shows that Dr. Dog is actually maturing even now."
