![[Listen/Download] Dog Day- In the Woods](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4005560_lg.jpg)
by teepoo You've heard of Dog Day from us before. They are known for their gloomy pop songs but there's something about In the Woods that is somewhat uplifting. Or maybe I'm just weird Dog Day- In the Woods Website
Considering the overall vibe of Halifax isn't at an all-time high currently (vacant storefronts, more venue closures, more people moving away, faltering economy, endless boondoggles from our municipal "leadership"), it's nice to have a reminder that there are still plenty of creative people here in the city doing good things. Your Samples Our Obsession , a recently released digital compilation, is one such example of these good things. Curated by your friends at Pigeon Row , YSOO is 16 songs from bands that are currently active in our beloved underdog of a city's music scene. [...]

Husband and wife duo Dog Day put together the video for "Part Girl" from footage shot on the recent U.S. tour, and with some special critter friends: Facebook: Dog Day Twitter: Dog Day
It looks like Halifax pop outfit Dog Day had a fun time making their new video. The clip is for the track "Part Girl" from their Deformer album that came out over the summer. Watch it here:

by teepoo Part Girl - DOG DAY from Seth Smith on Vimeo . Dog Day released a new video for their song Part Girl from their Deformer album released earlier this August. The video is made out of tour footage and what they referred to as "critter hangs". Dog Day- Part Girl iTunes | Amazon
Seth Smith and Nancy Urich have "ripped out the heart of their band" Dog Day and are carrying on as a duo for their latest album, Deformer . It's the follow-up to the 2009 album Concentration , and marks a rebirth for the husband and wife, who decamped to the country and simplified their lives, along with their music. With only drums and guitar, the pair are trying to keep everything real: real sounds, real emotions, real loose and fun. The result is a raw, honest sounding record that's generating a healthy [...]
You can't have HPX without Halifax mainstays Dog Day now can you? DD might have refactored themselves into the husband and wife duo of Nancy and Seth Smith, but they are still one of our fair city's best bands. If you have yet to check out their latest album, Deformer , you can check out the Ack's review for a bit of insight on how the band has arrived at this point. You'd also be wise to check out Dog Day during HPX as they headline the Pigeon Row Showcase on Friday, Oct. 21st. [...]
Alliterative east coast outfit Dog Day has a new album called Deformer out, and the initial run is available in a glow-in-dark package. This is why I still enjoy music in physical formats. I dare you to find your MP3s at nighttime in a power outage. The lead single is called "Part Girl," and it's a "Waiting for the Man"-style stomp which eventually turns into a fuzzy pop rocker. What really carries this dark and stormy tune are the looming, subtly echoing vocals of Seth Smith. Deformer is the band's first [...]
DOG DAY // Deformer There is something to be said with sticking to the formula. In a day of overnight budding microgenres and style mashups, I find myself yearning to return instead to something with a classic, time-worn style. It's a void that I've filled time and again with new bands that have managed that old-fashioned snarl. So when I stumbled upon DOG DAY I was pleased to find that these kids filled that void like a hand in a glove. They follow a basic (and rather simple) pattern [...]
In my experience, when it comes to artistic significance, less is more. The rawest sounds and descriptions delivered through the most immediate medium are the ones that actually connect with me. Every extra layer or superfluous adjectives ultimately end up cushioning the impact. For Dog Day , the decision to scale back the band to two members gives Nancy and Seth a clarity of sound and vision. The band's struggles, or maybe more accurately their unfortunate string of bad luck when it comes to breaking out and reaching the massive audience their songs [...]
Dog Days of summer got you feeling tired? **CLICK HERE** to download Riviera: 40 Thieves (Toro Torro remix)
Trying something new this week; a dedicated focus on a sound instead of new bands. Lately, the submissions coming across my desk have been mostly inoffensive "alt.country" and lo-fi surf infused bands struggling to keep up with the hot trends on hypem. As much as I enjoy both of those genres - when done right - I need a break from the sprawling folk collectives and art school noise projects. You aren't going to read about bands experimenting with a never ending supply of melodicas, pedal steel, strings and banjo, all fighting the vocalist and each other for your attention. [...]
The construction on 18th Street is killing me. I don't want to ride my bike down the endless strip of potholes, and I'm sure it's worse driving a car through that mess. There is never any parking; it gets backed up in the area that starts just after Smash and Crooked Beat . "Did you know it has been going on since Pepco began digging up the street in June of 2010? We know we have heard from a lot of you saying that you have been avoiding [...]
