Bio provided by artist:
Seeing Dog Unit live is not just about watching a band play a parade of individually wound super-melodic instrumental rock songs one after another. Instead, the London four-piece aim for world creation on a grander scale, creating a continuous ribbon of music on stage that’s precision-engineered for a single sitting, complete with resting pauses, signposts and tiny diversions in just the right places along the way. It makes for a truly unorthodox live show, in which a boiler-suited band, seated in horseshoe formation, play straight through in a gloriously intense unbroken performance style that’s been the band’s MO since their inception in 2019.
In 2024, Dog Unit released their debut album, ‘At Home’, on Brace Yourself Records, to a flurry of breathless reviews both in the UK and Europe, including 4 stars in The Times and MOJO, and 9/10 in Loud And Quiet. The album follows two EPs, 2020’s self-released ‘Barking To Gospel’ and 2022’s ‘Turn Right And Right Again’, also on Brace Yourself.
“One hell of a movie, directed with all the mastery of a Hitchcock… sets the pulse racing.” – MOJO (4 stars)
“With bluesy fret-busting, velvety jazz inversions, and amorphous wah-wah tones, it’s music to get lost in, but you won’t forget it’s playing.” – Flood
“A different type of musical texture, and a very pretty and moving thing it is too.”
– Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music
“David Gilmour-like guitar melodies, space-age keyboard reverberations and the odd jazz workout, all held down by tight, propulsive rhythms… a balm for grey days everywhere.”
– The Times (4 stars)
“A thrill-ride of instrumental excitement… one of the best bands on the planet right now.”
– John Kennedy, Radio X
“Combining the cinematic scope of classic post-rock (Tortoise, Trans Am, Slint) with the mechanical verve of ’70s Kraut and psych”
– Loud and Quiet (9/10)
