About Dog Race
Evoking a sense of looming, gothic darkness, London’s Dog Race explore their vulnerabilities with motifs of unease in order to confront their deepest fears. The five-piece bleeds with angling guitars haunted by modulation and crunching synths with engulfing intensity, while propulsive drum rhythms are surgically interlaced with electronics. Ambiguous lyricism is spoken through unworldly realms, propelled by an almost operatic vibrato. It’s a sound that emanates between the perilous depths of Xmal Deutschland, the electronic pulse of Kraftwerk, and the dramatic flair of Klaus Nomi, filled with the anxieties of the modern day.
Dog Race have created a path marked by patience and a relentless commitment to refining both their sound and lineup until they felt comfortable unleashing it on the world. This process has paved the way for breathtaking live performances that have supported the likes of Fat Dog, Maruja, Voka Gentle, Nuha Ruby Ra Oslo Twins, and Slap Rash, in addition to gracing the stage at Visions Festival. Their previous singles garnered widespread acclaim, receiving support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6, in addition to Clash, Notion, Dork, So Young, and The Line of Best Fit. Continuing to work with producer Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Sorry, Portishead) and joining forces with Fascination Street Records (Oslo Twins) has resulted in the creation of ‘It’s The Squeeze’, their darkest single to date.
