Dr. Dog guitarist/singer Scott McMicken expresses feeling like he is in a completely new band with the release of their latest album, ‘Critical Equation.’ This bold statement reflects the intense and transformative journey the beloved indie outfit has undergone over their decade-and-a-half career. Produced by Gus Seyffert, known for his work with Beck and Michael Kiwanuka, ‘Critical Equation’ stands out as Dr. Dog’s most infectious and adventurous collection yet, showcasing a blend of doubt, discovery, and ultimate unity within the band.
With a history of remarkable success, including multiple Top 50 albums, acclaimed television performances, and major festival appearances, Dr. Dog embarked on the recording of ‘Critical Equation’ in LA. Working with Gus Seyffert on analog tape, the band’s signature sound of quirky 60’s pop and fuzzy 70’s rock has been beautifully redefined with an open and experimental approach. ‘Critical Equation’ captures Dr. Dog’s essence of creating music they love alongside their friends, resulting in a journey filled with joy and artistic fulfillment.
