After 22 year, it’s here: Old LP, the 4th full-length from legendary guitar pop group That Dog. In some ways, it finds the 3 members of That Dog—Anna Waronker, Rachel Haden, and Tony Maxwell—picking up where they left off. Across its 11 songs, there are interlocking vocal melodies, hooks-on-hooks, and Anna’s signature tone. There’s the unshakeable tension between sweetness and dissonance, between dark and light and tongue-in-cheek wordplay. But with 2 decades of life experience now behind them, the dynamics of That Dog are notably more sophisticated, layered and multi-dimensional.
