Dr. Dog
Philadelphia indie pop act Dr. Dog is part of a long tradition of D.I.Y. pop oddballs who blend unapologetic '60s pop worship with lo-fi recording techniques and a complete disregard of current trends. R. Stevie Moore's quirky eclecticism is one obvious touchstone, as is their love of the straightforward pop hooks and tape hiss of Guided by Voices, Pavement's willfully fractured song structures, and the playful experimentalism of the Olivia Tremor Control and the Apples in Stereo.
Dr. Dog began as a part-time offshoot of the more traditional Ph...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. Includes full CD version as well. "Fate" sees the Philadelphia-based quintet filtering the gamut of American popular music into its own idiosyncratic brand of blue-eyed, dilated-pupil soul. As ever, Dr. Dog makes magic from an enduring pop palette of intricate harmonies, shape-shifting melodies, and ramshackle audio ingenuity - all presented through the band's slightly skewed and utterly individualistic outlook. Dr. Dog have toured with Wilco, Strokes, Raconteurs, Black Keys, Clap Your Hands S [ read more ]

It's easier to compare and contrast than it is to take something for face value and to love it and never let go. Easy Beat is the debut album from Philadelphia's Dr Dog. Easy Beat is an amalgamation of sounds so enlightening yet so complex that it nearly defies category. With arrangements reminiscent of The Band, three part harmonies that draw on everything from the Beach Boys to the Hollies, and a hedonism reserved up until now for albums like Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, this 21st century [ read more ]

Dr. Dog has been creating music in various incarnations in their hometown of Philadelphia for nearly four years now, starting with their humble first release The Psychedelic Swamp, a concept album realized in the damp ruin of a flooded basement, through to the recently recorded Easy Beat, which finds the band much more lyrically and musically complex. Most recently, the band has compiled Takers and Leavers, a dramatic step up in terms of production and fidelity, and a grand preview to t [ read more ]

Formed in 1999 as a recording project for two members of the more traditional indie-rock band Raccoon, Dr. Dog became a full-time gig when Raccoon ended in the early '00s. Dr. Dog's first two records, 2001's Psychedelic Swamp and 2002's Toothbrush, were both self-released but failed to make an impact outside of the Philadelphia area. Still, the band's fortunes changed when My Morning Jacket's Jim James handpicked Dr. Dog to open for My Morning Jacket for its 2004 tour. Subsequently picked up by an indie lab [ read more ]

Passed Away is not really an album as much as it's a collection of songs that were recorded for no particular reason, sometime over the last 5 or 6 years. Last summer we posted them on Weallbelong.net just for fun but people started writing and asking for it to be released, so we did. -Dr. Dog
