El Dog
The Lamps of Terrahead (Lo-Five)
Glasgow four piece El Dog draw comparisons with Biffy Clyro and Mogwai, but that’s too simplistic. Their sound is more layered and complex than straightforward rock.
Their long awaited debut album features a stunning array of styles and influences. Tracks vary from the rocky, Foo Fighters-esque current single ‘A Princess, a Monkey, The Stars and The Sea’ to the stark beauty of instrumental ‘Bah Rock’, reminiscent of Sigur Ros.
Stand out track is ‘Fire in Your Eyes’, so beautiful it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It’s the ultimate festival track, you can just picture it being played at T in the Park at dusk with a sea of lighters floating in front of the stage.
The entire album is cinematic in its scale, with epic choruses and glorious harmonies, all of the tracks feel like they should be in a movie. This is definitely an album to play loud over the summer, and it’ll sound pretty darn good in the winter too.
