Dog Day: Sadly, Batman isn’t actually in the band
Dog Day are a band I was vaguely aware of back around the time of their last album a couple of years back. I had a bunch of their stuff but never really got on with it, despite it being well regarded. It was nice enough, but it never inspired me to write about them on here.
Thankfully previous mediocrity doesn’t stop me listening when new songs arrive, and Happiness is the kind of thing that makes me glad to have such a policy. Starting solidly enough with a synth heavy opener, it quickly excels into something more. This is a dark, brooding song, punctuated with various unexpected noises. It’s one of those things where I suspect I might find an entire album to be just a bit much, but these two minutes are one hell of a ride.
Concentration is out this week on Outside Music.
