Doggod

LA-based garage rock trio adopt a palindrome for their title and make their big goth rock move. Having successfully lit a fire under their sound on their sophomore effort, album number three ventures into the ice. It leans into the reverb and David Lynch vibes of their debut but even more so. Their core remains Gun Club SoCal noir-punk. This time they incorporate moodier acts in the form of (early) The Cult and The Cure and Cocteau Twins, as well as citing unexpected C-bands like Celtic Frost. Sade Sanchez’s voice sounds weathered beyond her years, giving gloomy tunes like “Eyes of Love” and “I Hunt You Prey “ unexpected grit. “Icicle” and “777” combine the frost and fire into a beautiful alchemical concoction that brings them closer to god than dog.
