Why it's significant: On Fate Dr. Dog expands their old sound framework, layering it with notes from the indie-pop playbook: great hooks, contemplative lyrics, and moments of warbling psychedelia. They indulge in off-limit rock taboos like raw Let It Be vocals, three-part harmonies, ballsy guitars, and tightly wound drums brought to prominence by bands like the Beach Boys, Neil Young, and the Beatles, all without a shred of irony. Everything old is new again and nothing is left to chance.
