Be The Void, the sixth studio release from Philadelphia's Dr. Dog (@drdogmusic), is trying to prove that old dogs can indeed learn new tricks. Most bands with a discography as strong as theirs have attained footholds in the "indie mainstream", but despite the band's consistently high quality, they've managed to remain just below the radar. Be The Void , though, could be the springboard they need. Jumping back and forth between their Mersey beat psychedelic roots and a more contemporary trash-pop sensibility a la Beck , Dr. Dog is clearly trying to pull [...]

Tweet If you know Dr. Dog at all, then you know they've made a career of turning lo-fi musings and blatant stylistic influences into coherent, upbeat, psychedelic-throwback pop songs. "Be The Void" is no exception, except that it's also quite different from other Dr. Dog albums. The band decided to take a different approach to this album: they structured their recording process around their live shows. Instead of endlessly fussing about in the studio, they captured the [...]

Sick, and quarantined in my apartment, listening to a song called "Lonesome" seems appropriate. Underneath it all though, "Lonesome" is a damn catchy tune. Lots of great slide guitar, an infectious chorus, and a slide guitar breakdown at the end that is to die for. Short and sweet from me today folks, I'm gonna go take a nap. Have a listen to "Lonesome" and get out there and have some fun on my behalf. "Lonesome" is from Dr. Dog's latest album Be The Void , and is available NOW. [...]

I know I am a little late on this, but here are the albums that I am looking forward to hearing the most. Please understand this is not my guess at what will be the best albums of 2012, or my attempt at finding the pulse of what the general public is most excited about. These the 12 albums that I am personally the most excited about. Also know that I have excluded several albums that have already been released that surely would have made this list, had I done a month ago, including the new ones by [...]

Sharon Van Etten releases her third full length (first offical) release -- Tramp . Since February is the shortest month of the year, I'm thinking it's going to have to be the most condensed with interesting releases, and this first week goes some ways to proving the theory true. New releases from Sharon Van Etten, Dr. Dog, Air, Of Montreal, The Twilight Sad and Mark Lanegan certainly make their cases. There's also new releases from The Duke Spirit, Ben Kweller, Die Antwoord, an EP from Davila 666, the return of Van Halen, and [...]

Because they love their fans so much (heh), Umphrey's McGee put up their Super Bowl Village set as a free download on their blog. I'm downloading this right away; I haven't dove into any live UM in a while. It looks like Sigur Rós will be returning to the stage with a new album and [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Television Bryan Bedder, Getty Images Dr. Dog have returned to the spotlight with their sixth album 'Be the Void.' The Philly rockers' latest effort is arguably the band's best yet, combining the smart pop sensibilities of their past works with a refined throwback sound. The band hit the set of ' Conan ' last night and rocked late night Americans [...]

Frankie Rose releases Interstellar this month (2/21) and as Bill points out , she's left the garage pop of her debut behind in favor of synthy, jangly pop. It's a huge step up from her last album and you can stream the entire thing at SPIN . She plays a record release show for the album at Knitting Factory on February 21 with Dive and Night Manager . The new album from Dr. Dog, Be The Void , is out this [...]

Dr. Dog took to Conan last night to perform "That Old Black Hole" . The feel good jammer is off of their new record Be The Void which is out now via ANTI

Just one day after the release of Be The Void , which is winning raves around HT headquarters, Dr. Dog visited Conan for a performance of That Old Black Hole on the TBS late night show. This take is getting us excited for the band's current tour , which kicked off last week and runs through the end of March. If you missed it, here's the clip...

Like a fine wine, Dr. Dog gets better with age. Since the band made a strong first impression with their live shows, each new album gets closer to that perfect debut that should have gotten them noticed in the first place. For their latest attempt, Be the Void , the Philadelphia quintet added a new drummer and "electronics-percussionist-g uitarist" Dimitri Manos (who, incidentally, worked with the band on 20052s Easy Beat ), and the results show. It's their tightest and simultaneously most experimental release, incorporating Afrobeat elements and intensifying the psychedelia that used to meander somewhat aimlessly [...]

The DR. DOG , who are half the size of Mr. O'Brien, took to the Conan show to perform that mighty handsome choon about THAT OLD BLACK HOLE .

Conan's on a two-win streak right now. After shedding some spotlight on Alabama Shakes Tuesday night , Team Coco cleared the stage for Pennsylvania's own Dr. Dog on Wednesday. Out supporting their seventh LP, Be The Void , which hit stores this week, the psychedelic rockers knocked out a stormy cut of new track, "That Old Black Hole". Despite the song's lyrics, there certainly weren't any eggshells on the stage floor; in fact, you can consider this new material primed for the road. Check it out below, courtesy of The Audio Perv .
