PO NOW: Dr Dog - The Psychedelic Swamp


Recommended Posts

Is this that really terrible sounding album they put out a long time ago, might even have been their first release? If so, I hope they did something to it, because is it not worth a listen otherwise.

Yes it is. They recently turned it into a full stage production with a local stage company for a city-wide performance festival. I'm thinking a lot of the stuff might have been reworked or re-recorded in the mean time.

 

If not, it's an auto-buy for me anyway since I've got every single thing they've ever released anyway... so why stop now.

Here's a video of the stage production

edit: I should probably say that this is a spoiler for how the majority of the album is going to sound.

 

 

This album is gonna be a lot more psychadelic, and less just indie-pop than B-Room. I'm looking forward to it, but then again, I really enjoy the original unreleased version.

It sounds like Dr. Dog covering an unreleased Grandaddy record, which I like, but it does feel like a concept release rather than a proper studio album.  Better than another B-Room.

 

A part of me is still hoping that Dr. Dog put together at least one more straightforward album like Fate/Shame Shame before they hang it up though.  Or for McMicken to release a new solo album of folk and rock songs.

Mine shipped.

 

Also, I got refunded $7 from my original price ($19.99) thanks to that price-drop service Paribus.  I'm pretty sure that Paribus incorrectly made a claim with Amazon against the CD price ($12.99) but Amazon just accepted it for some reason.  Either way, worked out pretty well.

Nice bonus. I just got an email saying my new delivery date is Wednesday.

Casual fan here, I pretty much liked most of their albums that I've heard, don't think I've listened to the last album. I haven't heard the original release of this new one, but I streamed the new album quite a few times now and really liking it a lot. Just might have to pick up the vinyl!
 

I must say, early pick for Worst Album Art of 2016

No way! I like it!!
