Album Review

The Golden Dogs
Big Eye Little Eye

Flatly put The Golden Dogs new album Big Eye Little Eye (released on Yep Roc Records) is in the number one position so far for "Best Album of The Year" in my opinion. Hailing from the dark wilderness of Canada, the band delivers a sound that can best be described as sixties Pop meets the "true" indie sound of today.
At a cursory listen, the bands seems to have a deceptively simple sound, stripped of elaborate guitar leads and acrobatic vocals, the band has just enough Glam rock influence to make the music fun to drive to. But further listening reveals that this unique sound is a result of four different musical parts arranged to create a thickly woven sound. As a result the music has a complexity that yields new discoveries upon each listen.
I'll conclude this review by stating that The Golden Dogs new album is on my I-pod where it receives a heavy rotation of listening, which is the best compliment I can give a musician.
