WOOF. : Red Vinyl LP

Label: Domino 
Release Date: 6th September

I know sometimes one doesn't want to be seen as so fickle that they bow to the hypebeasts for some personal clout capital that doesn't exist but sometimes the hype is real and the early excitement is backed up. Fat Dog are coming and their tunes have such an infectious electro-punk industrial rock swaggering euphoria that it's hard not to be dragged in to their swell of well-earned hyperbole.

Fat Dog are the most exciting breakthrough band of the past few years, conjurers of the sort of frenzied and wild live shows not seen in the capital for years and now the creators of WOOF., a brilliant and mind-bending debut album. A thrilling blend of electro-punk, rock’n’roll snarling, techno soundscapes, industrial-pop and rave euphoria, WOOF. is music for letting go to or, in the words of frontman Joe Love, “screaming-into-a-pillow music”.
