Reviews And Such
“This is mostly a damn good melodic pop album, but also those Neil Young-influences still push through in some of those long guitar-driven slightly folk-y rock treasures”.
– One Chord To Another’s view on the new album.
“I love the noise they make, I love the big chorus tunes”.
– Nordic Music Review gave “Gone to the Dogs” 8/10 on their review.
NY-based Powerpopaholic features the new album too. By the way, you can also download this “freebie” in hi-res FLAC format (96 kHz/24-bit) on my Bandcamp.
Levy päivässä blog also gave “Gone to the Dogs” a nod of approval (in finnish).
The New Album Is Out Now
Gone to the Dogs is out now! Right now you can listen to it on Spotify or on my Bandcamp page from where you can also purchase it as a CD version.
New Video and Single
The second single “What Goes On” from the upcoming album Gone to the Dogs is out now – watch the video:
The vid is an homage to the late great Jim Henson. The dark green puppet I’m hanging out with is called Mossy. The video also features Vauxhall Cavalier mk1, Batman comics, Gerry and the Pacemakers’ 7″ single and if you look closely at the end you can even see Marty McFly’s DeLorean.
