NEW ALBUM    'B-ROOM'   NOV 4TH

STEREOGUM PREMIERES NEW SONG 'BROKEN HEART'

Stereogum.com has premiered a brand new track from the Philadelphia (US) band Dr. Dog entitled “Broken Heart.” The song, an energetic supremely catchy burst of re-imagined soul, is from the group's upcoming new album B-Room which hits stores November 4th. Listen to the song by going to: http://www.stereogum.com/1448161/dr-dog-broken-heart-stereogum-premiere/video/  .

B-Room is the culmination of a complete overhaul of the band’s writing and recording process, which finds them in a new self-built studio, writing songs live in rehearsal, and using the rock solid groove of the band, honed through workmanlike touring, as a powerful compositional tool. In its purest form, B-Room is a soul album. In an early review of a new song "The Truth" CMJ said this reconfigured sound, “Breezily pays homage to the kings and queens of Philly soul while allowing the boys to keep carving out a path of their own.”

Dr. Dog, renowned for their raucous and transcendent live shows, will be touring North America with The Lumineers this Fall. The tour will include a sold-out, three-night residency at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Early Acclaim For B-Room's Sound:
 
“Reminiscent of the sounds of old-school soul and Motown tracks, but there is still a distinct modern/garage rock edge... What more could you ask for?” - Filter

“The live take approach has stripped the band to their core, removing a lot of the psychedelic pomp and circumstance to leave only the soulful swagger of warmly vibrating organ, methodical guitar work, and McMicken’s world-weary harmonies.” - Consequence Of Sound

PITCHFORK PREMIERING NEW MAN MAN ALBUM On Oni Pond Hits Stores November 4th   Man Man's new album On Oni Pond is streaming in its entirety at Pitchfork.com which is exclusively premiering the album in advance of its November 4th release. Fans can listen here: http://pitchfork.com/advance/206-on-oni-pond/. The album will be available digitally from September 9th on. Early reviews herald On Oni Pond as Man Man's finest work to date. Esquire called On Oni Pond the band's “best album yet” and “an artistic and revelatory triumph.” Magnet proclaimed the album "the most enjoyable weird record of their career," while Alternative Press recently wrote, "With sprinklings of dub (King Shiv), ragtime piano (Curtains) and doo wop (Sparks), Man Man are still digging around in a diverse bag of influences. Fortunately, they keep pulling out winners." In a recent Rolling Stone profile, album producer Mike Mogis tells how he noticed frontman Ryan Kattner’s musical growth and artistic determination while making On Oni Pond. "Kattner dialed in his lyrics, honed his vocal takes, and created space in their songs for hooks to shine through." Read the entire Rolling Stone story at: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/man-man-dial-tighten-up-for-on-oni-pond-20130830 On Oni Pond features an arresting reconstruction of Man Man's visionary sound – stripped to its core and rebuilt as something new and compelling yet still very much Man Man. This marked shift is a direct result of an intensive collaboration between the band's frontman, Honus Honus (Kattner), and drummer Pow Pow, who has assumed a new-found prominence in the songwriting process, bringing an exhilarating array of new rhythmic ideas to the mix. The compositions were further honed by the band members along with producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit) into a compelling mash-up of Fear Of Music era Talking Heads, classic soul, psychedelia, hip hop, and 50’s rock and roll.   For more information: http://manmanbandband.com/ http://www.anti.com/
