South London band Fat Dog have announced their debut album, titled WOOF., which will be out September 6 via Domino. The album was co-produced by frontman Joe Love, James Ford and Jimmy Robertson, and the band cite Bicep, I.R.O.K, Kamasi Washington, and Russian EDM outfit Little Big as influences.
“I wanted to make something ridiculous because I was so bored,” Love says. “I don’t like sanitized music. Even this album is sanitized compared to what’s in my head. I thought it would sound more fucked up.” The album includes recent singles “All the Same” and “King of Slugs,” and the new single is “Running” which is like punk, klezmer, ska and EDM locked in a closet together till they find commonality or breakdown the door. The video is equally unhinged and you can watch that below.
One of the buzziest acts at this year’s SXSW, Fat Dog have announced their first North American tour, which happens in October with stops in Toronto, DC, NYC (TV Eye on 10/22), Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
