Dr. Dog – Be The Void 

            Longtime indie-rockers Dr. Dog are at it again.  With a new album slated to release in October of this year, I decided it was time to take a look at their back catalog.  Upon listening to Be The Void I got even more excited for their upcoming release.  This band has history, and is always an integral part of the engineering on their studio albums, and has a characteristic sound that could be compared to anything off of The Flaming Lips’-Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.  The thing that has always attracted me to Dr. Dog’s music is the way they take these dirty guitar and bass sounds and blend them into this amalgam of sixties grunge without sounding cheesy or dated.  To me, their sound is more modern than a lot of electronic bands, not only from a recording standpoint, but also from a songwriting standpoint.  On the song “Warrior Man” the guitar hooks have such an impact that despite the somewhat silly lyrics, the song shines as a testament to DIY artists across the world.  Dr. Dog is an example of a group of musicians that have remained true to the sonic realms they set out to explore, and pushed on past the boundaries that could have limited their sonic growth to become something more.
