Shame, Shame
Dr. Dog | Anti-RecordsPerhaps as a nod to their new home, Anti-Records, these lo-fi Philly psych rockers have merged their nostalgic Beatles-meets-Beach Boys-ish sound with some grand punk rock show guitar stylings to great effect on their sixth studio effort. The tweedy vocals and piano-tuned harmonies on “Shadow People” and “Jackie Wants a Black Eye” are more classic Dog, but the rock operatic title track has a pre-Ziggy Bowie sensibility while there’s a rollicking tour through Britpop punk on the ballad “Later.” Translation: This old Dog learned some new tricks.
