Dogs at Large - Overpass (2018)

Dogs at Large from Chicago, IL is a psychedelic Americana band that combines retro influences as disparate as The Band and Roxy Music and filters them through a decidedly modern lens. Combining chorusy guitars, saxophone, keyboards, bass and drums, they create a smooth soft rock atmosphere alongside compelling vocals and lyrics.

“Ashland & Grand” exemplifies the band’s ability to generate sheer euphony. The wailing saxophone paired with flavors of psychedelia is a delectable combination that intoxicates the ear instantaneously, exuding simultaneous feelings of both emptiness and dreaminess – a sonic sensation that draws an arrow and hits a bullseye on the soul. Worth mention is the overwhelming degree of lyrical realism, as they detail accounts of human connection that are both beautiful, aching, and inherently relatable. An aspect of “Ashland & Grand” that makes it so notable is that both the music and lyrics serve as cohesive, equalized agents of communication – thus making the song’s overall tone, message, and heart even more vibrant and magnified. As a result, listeners are treated to a creative work that is all-encompassing in every single sense of the term.
A richly detailed, smooth, and ethereal account of urban loneliness, “Ashland & Grand” is undeniably masterful and establishes Dogs At Large as bona fide innovators." - AMPLIFY music.
