Dr. Dog - Fate

Yes yes, it's been a long time since we've posted. I apologize for that. It's been more like "Best Album of the Summer" than "Day." If you forgive me for that, I will forgive you for not telling everyone you know about this site. Alright, we have now reconciled. Let's get back to the music...

Dr. Dog. Unique band name. Incredibly cool and diverse sound. Influences ranging from The Band, to the Beatles, to Brian Wilson.

I love these guys! I had listened to their We All Belong album last year but didn't really become a big fan. That is changing with their new album, Fate. It is a sonic masterpiece!

So far I can't decide if my favorite track is "The Rabbit, The Bat, & The Reindeer" (has a supremely CLASSIC sound) or "100 Years" (very Wilco-sounding). While these two songs duke it out for my absolute love and affection, take a listen to this album straight through. Like I said, it's got enough diversity to it to make it a truly enjoyable musical experience.

  1. I should add that certain moments on this album remind me of the Flaming Lips, which is a good thing.

  3. I'm sold on the Flaming Lips, but not a big Beatles fan...
