Free Music Notes for We All Belong
Free Music Review: Excellent album
Hit: 4 Stars
Let me state upfront that I am a late-comer to this party. I was not familiar with Dr. Dog until I heard their music recently on WOXY (BAM! The Future of Rock and Roll!), the internet-only starion but the best source for indie-music in the country, bar none. I immediately decided to check out their most recent album.
"We All Belong", released in early 2007 (11 tracks, 39 min.), starts off with a short introductory track "Short News" that is just exuberant, and sets the stage for the rest of the album. "My Old Ways" continues the musical style of piano-fronted, horns-augmented, almost bar-style, music and it works just great. Other highlights of the album for me include "The Girl", a heavier-sounding track with crashing guitars, the gentle "Ain't It Strange", and of course the album closer, the almost epic 6+ min. title track, wich sums up the album perfectly. What a delight this album is, from start to finish, there really are no weak tracks on here.
Dr. Dog will release their new album "Fate" later this month, and from the couple of tracks I've heard so far on WOXY, I can't wait to check that out. I haven't seen these guys in concert yet, but surely hope to get a chance to do so when they tour behind the new album. Meanwhile, "We All Belong" is highly recommended.
We All Belong Poster
"Loaded with three-part harmonies, orchestral strings, heavy reverb, and fuzzy guitars." - ROLLING STONE"Continuing a Philly psychedelic tradition that spans from Bardo Pond to Sun Ra." - SPIN
"Not that any great band really comes from anywhere expected or anything, but HOLY FUCK where did these guys come from?" - THE FADER
Abandoning their usual method of production and opting for a new experience, Dr. Dog recorded We All Belong on a twenty-four-track, two-inch tape machine as opposed to their previous releases, which were recorded on their faithful eight-track. A band that thrives on using creative muscle to overcome the inherent limitations of a minimal amount of equipment, the twenty-four-track introduced new possibilities as well as new challenges. Taking full advantage of both, Dr. Dog managed to make an album that captures the organic spirit so important to the band while introducing new layers of vocal harmonies and textured instrumentation the band had only been able to imagine prior. The recording sessions for We All Belong yielded material that the band did not feel worked with the album as a whole but seemed to work as an excellent bridge between Easy Beat and We All Belong. Dr. Dog released this material in September 2006 as a six-song EP, Takers and Leavers, which Rolling Stone raved "matches The Shins with smart, retro psych rock." We All Belong was recorded in between headlining dates, a European tour with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and US dates with The Strokes.
