Masters of psychedelic outsider-rock, Pennsylvania’s Dr. Dog haven’t stayed still since their self-released 2001 debut, ‘The Psychedelic Swamp’; and as if to commemorate their own restless, wandering spirit, they revisited that album last year, revamping and re-recording it for a major label release while also working on their new surprise album, ‘Abandoned Mansion’. No-one could call the band anything but generous; the sunburnt sprawl of their songs and the vivacious spirit of their live shows keeps their music in an eternally youthful, upbeat place, a veritable encyclopaedia of feel-good psychedelia from 70s American rock. ‘…Mansion’ hardly rewrites the Dr. Dog template, but it adds confidently to it; the band’s bottomless well of soft snare shuffles, rambling guitar-picking riffs and heart-warming harmonies shows no sign of drying up. Catch these wonderful weirdos in flight, outta time and at close quarters at Mama Roux’s.
