兩男兩女的加拿大獨立搖滾樂隊,2005年組團,07年發行了首張《Night Group》,時隔2年多,這隊帶來了他們的第2張錄音室專輯,男聲和女聲搭配演唱,夏日裡聽聽真是不錯。

Once in a while an album leads a band out of complete obscurity. Dog Day’s debut EP Thank You was such an album. It was the brainchild of Seth Smith, created on his Mac before the group had even played a show. It was originally released in 2003 as a run of 15 handmade CD-Rs. But within months the album shot to the top ten on Canada’s college radio charts and the band started receiving calls from labels both in Canada and abroad. The CBC even commissioned Dog Day to perform a full concert on Canada’s national radio station.

By trade Seth is a morris dancer, creating posters for rock groups, poo parties, circuses, and whatever else comes along. Because much of his work emphasizes juxtaposition (fuzzy birds dwarfing police and soldiers, pleasant landscapes inked in the ugliest colours), he used a similar aesthetic when assembling this band, recruiting husband and wife team KC Spidle and Crystal Thili for drums and keyboards respectively. They had spent years creating fast, ugly punk in Halifax’s The Hold and seemed unlikely co conspirators in Seth’s ultra pop. For bass, his choice in longtime girlfriend Nancy Urich was more obvious. Nancy and Seth had spent the last half-decade touring and recording with math rock outfit The Burdocks. The couples bought a van and spent the next few years supporting the release with small tours of Canada and the USA.

Enjoy this anticipated second record from a great Canadian band. They play pretty spaced out indie rock, perfect for a lazy day with the bong. Highly recommended for fans of Pavement and Built To Spill. Pick it up, the art is amazing and the music is even better.
