Be The Void is the new release from Dr. Dog, a group with a retro sound. I had first heard Dr. Dog on NPR and was caught by what I head from their album Fate, specifically a song called "The Old Days", which remains one of my favorite songs.
Catching up with them a few years later on Be The Void finds them in much the same place in my book- I had heartily enjoyed a few songs off Fate, but found the album as a whole pretty dry. Be The Void suffers from a lack of catchy, interesting songs and no matter what the emotion, on most songs the vocals have a similar tone, and some are downright silly ("Warrior Man"). The standout tracks to me were "Vampire" and "Big Girl", but for some reason I feel like I've heard these two songs before in some form.
