New Single: Dr. Dog

I was a little late to the Dr. Dog party.  For some reason, I thought they were in the same category as Disco Biscuits, moe. and other Grateful Dead-ish jam bands.  NO IDEA WHY because they are NOTHING like that.  Thankfully my friend Carlyn set me straight, otherwise I would have been missing out on a really great band!  With that, I'm super excited for their new album Be The Void coming out February 7th on Anti-.  The video for "That Old Black Hole" is just as fun as the song, though director George Salisbury described the video as "the product of two manic, mate-fueled days in studio with no less than 144 complete takes in a non-stop performance marathon. The hypnotic result of this process-driven experiment gives the viewer a brief glimpse into both the disorienting lyrics and the wavering sanity of the band members across the two-day session.”  Deep.  I just like how the song combines southern rock with sing-song-y pop to create a melee of good times.
