Dr. Dog - Fate
Take some time to familiarize yourself with Philadelphia darlings Dr. Dog, Indieface's Artist of the Month. They have been and will continue to create amazing music that on its surface appears to be listener friendly, but is, in fact, very complex. With musical accompaniments that mimic a backyard orchestra, Dr. Dog does not roll over with boring straightforward arrangements. They have made no bones about being influenced by the harmonization and instrumentation of the legendary Beach Boys and Beatles, but this album signifies a departure from their earlier recordings and easily stands alone without the easy comparisons to those stalwarts of rock. The organic/grainy production that is heard on their other albums is not lost on this new album as some fans might observe: it is still there, but amplified. Without compromising their under-produced sound, Dr. Dog has captured that feeling in a higher resolution. Their set list on Fate could easily be shuffled into the Classic Rock station on your parents digital cable music channel and you would never know it, but don't dismiss the old style. Stylistically Dr. Dog feels retro, but it feels even better to know that it is real and accessible and new music. Experience this band while you can. Dance like an uninhibited fool to "The Rabbit Bat and Reindeer."
