FATE is the record Dr. Dog were destined to make, a timeless yet contemporary distillation of the bands open-armed, big-hearted sound taken to new heights of
craft and creativity. Inventive, magnificently realized, and absolutely irresistible, the Park The Van Records release sees the Philadelphia-based quintet filtering the gamut of American popular music into its own idiosyncratic brand of blue-eyed, dilated-pupil soul. As ever, Dr. Dog makes magic from an enduring pop palette of intricate harmonies, shape-shifting melodies, and ramshackle audio ingenuity all presented through the bands slightly skewed and utterly individualistic outlook.
Forward-thinking but reflective, searching yet remarkably confident, FATE is the work of an extraordinary band operating full steam ahead. Perhaps it was inevitable. Dr. Dog has always trod its own analogous path, a band of outsiders from the start, now more than ever holding true to its own inimitable place in the universe.
This band was started and built on the idea that we were the only band there was, McMicken says. That gave us the freedom to be in complete control. You can start a band and say, In Dr. Dog World, up is down and blue is red. Because whos gonna tell you youre wrong?
