Philly psych-rock crew Dr. Dog will release their eighth studio album, B-Room, on October 1st via Anti-. The follow-up to last year’s Be The Void saw the band move out of their long-standing Meth Beach studio and into a new recording space, which was converted from an old silversmith mill.
With construction of their new digs taking away from time normally reserved for demoing, the band took a new approach, recording much of the album live. And in another first, the entire band worked closely together in the songwriting process.
“I used to think that all I needed was a track recorder and a bunch of instruments in a room,” singer-guitarist Scott McMicken said in a statement. “Now I realize that I’m useless by myself.”
B-Room is the culmination of a complete overhaul of the band's writing and recording process, which finds them in a new self-built studio, writing songs live in rehearsal, and using the rock solid groove of the band, honed through workmanlike touring, as a powerful compositional tool. In its purest form, B-Room is a soul album. In an early review of a new song "The Truth"CMJ said this reconfigured sound, 'Breezily pays homage to the kings and queens of Philly soul while allowing the boys to keep carving out a path of their own.'
So pumped!
