Pop experimenters Dr. Dog make some changes to their tried and true methods for their latest album, Be the Void. Adding multi-instrumentalist Dimitri Manos to the band, the Philadelphia pop maestros are looking toward a rawer, more direct sound that captures the immediacy of their live set rather than the ornate constructions of their recorded work. Tracked live in the studio, the album seems likely to deliver on that promise based on the album's rumbling debut single, "That Old Black Hole.Beloved Philadelphia band Dr. Dog release a staggering burst of vital rock n roll with their 2012 record, Be The Void. The album is the raucous follow up to the group s critically lauded Shame, Shame. Having evolved from a band whose primary creative outlet was the album making process into one that favored the energy of their live performances, Dr. Dog knew they wanted to document the new dynamic they had developed on the road. Tracking live in the studio and turning up the guitars, the band has delivered a truly great cathartic rock n roll album played with near reckless abandon and passion, blending their early punk infused energy with the songwriting craft that made Fate and Shame, Shame fan favorites.From the rollicking re imagined blues of the disc s title track to the searing guitars of "Vampire, " the frenetic urgency of "Over Here Over There" and the beautifully fuzzed out rock of "Warrior Man, " Dr. Dog s Be The Void is a truly great rock n roll record and the unmistakable sound of a band whose moment has arrived.
