But I don’t want to ever go back

I've already raved about this band once. So back with a little encore from me, I'd like to write about Dr. Dog's "My Old Ways." The song is kind of a throw back to the early 60's, with kind of that Beach Boys/Beatles combo thing going. The song just sounds so dated-almost an anachronism in todays music scene.

The song comes off of their senior album We All Belong, which came out in 2007. The track starts out with a killer piano intro that is so incredibly hypnotic with that Beach Boy's "I Know There's An Answer" sound. What I really love about the song though is how underproduced the vocals are. They really make the track just seem so raw. I haven't really listened to all that much Dr. Dog, but I think I'm going to start. These guys sound as if they live their lives in black and white, a throwback in every sense of the word. Their is a complexness in the vocal arrangements and a simpleness in the melody that just makes it beautiful.

Hope you all enjoy this song. I know I'm going to post this and go straight to finding more of Dr. Dog's music.
