For the uninitiated, Dr. Dog is a Philadelphia based indie outfit playing a variation of reverent sounds culled from the what could be described as the fruits of a a dedicated 1970s vinyl enthusiast’s collection. We love it. Along with Richard Swift, Dr. Dog is one of our favorite bands right now making this kind of music — see the MP3s below for a taste.

My dad left me the vinyl test pressing of this album for me and it’s an album that I can never forget.
