THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “The Dog’s Body are a four-piece ‘Y’allternative Rock’ band hailing from the small college town of Cookeville, Tenn. The unassuming Upper Cumberland city serves as an ideal incubator for experimental and outsider acts skirting the shadow of Nashville. The band blend a unique mix of southern, alternative, and indie-rock to craft a unique sound that echoes the duality of the modern South.
The Dog’s Body are very much a Southern band, and they are unabashed in their depiction of the complexities and hardship of life in rural Tennessee. On their new record Deer Of Wisdom, the band examine loss, regret and the malaise of a generation searching for meaning in modern cultural shifts. The Dog’s Body hit all the gears on their latest outing, showcasing smart song craft and an eye for lyrical detail. Deer Of Wisdom captures the band’s frenetic live energy across eight deliberate tracks. Raw, uncompromising , and immediate, the album launches its songs at full force through the receiver.
For the album — which was engineered and mixed by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Margo Price) and mastered by Carl Saff (Sonic Youth, Mitski, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy) — the band opted to ground their sound by recording on analog two-inch tape magnetic tape. Deer Of Wisdom will also be pressed on vinyl to complete the full circle, analog experience.”
