It's crazy that Fat Dog made 3 of the best songs of 2023 despite only releasing 1 song.

'King Of The Slugs' is incredible, need to check the new song out but if it's anywhere close to the same quality these guys are definitely a contender to be one of the best in the weirdo post-punk-art-rock-whatever scene.

 

(I'd recommend anyone who likes this and someone hasn't already heard it to also check out the most recent Viagra Boys album x)

An album coming? :thinking:

 

I believe that an album is on the way fairly soon. They've been recording with James Ford.

 

“King of the Slugs” is a VERY bold move as a debut single, but I do love the frequent changes of pace and energy throughout, and the klezmer/Jewish folk sounds give it a really unique and interesting feel for a Post-Punk track. Everytime it comes on my iPod I feel a huge boost of energy.

Heard the new one at the end of Clara's show tonight on Radio 1. It's such a huge sounding track, I'm hooked already
'King of the Slugs' in all its unhinged glory was always going to be difficult to follow-up but I'm liking the more cooled down synthy pivot all the same (:basil:)

Their debut album 'WOOF.' is out on September 9th, with new single 'Running' releasing yesterday.

 

Tracklisting:

 

1. Vigilante

2. Closer to God

3. Wither

4. Clowns

5. King of the Slugs

6. All the Same

7. I Am The King

8. Running

9. And So it Came to Pass

 

I'm not sure how King of the Slugs didn't immediately click with me when it was sent to BJSC... however I'm now fully on board with them, really like all 3 singles
Back to pretty wild energy again on 'Running', what a banger :cheeseblock: indeed 3/3 for greatness so far, can't wait for the album!

Running is decent, better than All The Same for me but the bar was set so high with King of the Slugs I fear it's hard to be topped x

Wither is definitely the best since King of the Slugs. In fact the structure is quite similar except Wither is a lot more condensed

Very much a collection of songs with King Of The Slugs as the literal and figurative centerpiece, taking up 20% of the runtime alone as it does, but this is such a fun record throughout, all the craziness I'd hoped for is still there in the tracks I hadn't heard, 'Vigilante' and 'Running' in particular are new highlights I hadn't heard before.
Downloaded this to listen to this week, looking forward to it!
