A transatlantic collaboration between Oakland, CA and London, dog door today share “cover up contest”, their glorious debut single and one that provides a welcome window into the fervent, creative minds of Oliver Girdler (Forced Fandom / O. Girdler) and Jamie Cameron (The Last Dinosaur), whose shared love of lo-fi and kaleidoscopic pop funnels down into the patchwork that makes up dog door’s sonic quilt.
Their debut single pairs immediate melody to the tender, brittle pop of Sparklehorse and Grandaddy, the esoteric ambition of Talk Talk and the collaborative spirit of the Elephant 6 collective.
Jamie Cameron had the following to say about the single: “Oliver and I channel our slacker heroes to make a lo-fi nostalgia journey to the heart of the sun with verses sounding like forgotten summers, a Velvets psych wig-out middle section and a sunshine Beach Boys-esque chorus crescendo. Come in and wipe your paws off, if you don’t like it you can turn around and go back out the way you came.”
