Dr. Dog have been with us through a lot of important life events: realizing that they’re not so secretly kind of a jam band, seeing them on the cover of Relix magazine and subsequently realizing that Relix magazine is pretty sweet…the list could go on. But possibly most importantly: watching them go from their humble beginnings as a band that recorded all their songs into the mud of tape hiss and warble to a band that makes songs like the lush “Stranger” that we will be playing until we’re all old and our kids’ kids make fun of us for listening to music played by dudes who use actual instruments. Basically what we’re saying is that this shit is no joke.
