MusicFirst LookDog Bite – TranquilizersExclusive: Washed Out's keyboardist smears soul with shoegaze in his new band – stream their gorgeous second albumShareLink copied ✔️January 14, 2014MusicFirst LookTextAlice Greenberg In a new set of sounds inspired by the likes of Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, Atlanta-based band Dog Bite – the new project from Washed Out's keyboardist Phil Jones – releases a sensory album of dark, soulful melodies, with smooth vocals dipped in Codeine. The fittingly-titled Tranquilizers is the band's second release, and meanders in a dream-like state rooted in old-school influence. Jones experiments with a kick of smoky textures and lazily stretched vocals that blend seamlessly into one another, with hazy synth-work and surrealist sounds. Tranquilizers is out on January 20 on Carpark Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix albumZimmermannKindred spirits and psychedelic florals: Zimmermann heads to 70s Sydney Moses Ideka is making pagan synth-folk from the heart of south LondonBehind-the-scenes at Oklou and FKA twigs’ new video shootBjörk calls for the release of musician ‘kidnapped’ by Israeli authoritiesIB Kamara on branching out into musicEnter the K-Bass: How SCR revolutionised Korean club culture‘Comic Con meets underground rap’: Photos from Eastern Margins’ day festWho are H.LLS?
