Big Water Been listening to this album for a couple years now and this is easily my favorite project from Macula Dog, their song writing is at their best, the wiggles are at their wobbliest and god damit it makes my eyes the soggiest, can’t get enough of this band and particularly this record Favorite track: New Boys Club.

Essie (Uncle Woozee) This album is silly, and dare I say it, downright wacky at times.

Asa Spades A weird, wonky, experimental album. I really like it, it's a bit like Devo mixed with distortion and strangeness. Favorite track: Lawnmower.

avery It's taken me a long time to come around on this album after the decidedly slightly different flowing Macula Dog EP, but good grief I REALLY love this album a lot. It's ugly as fuck and embraces the hell out of that fact. Highly important album. Favorite track: Lawnmower.

about

Macula Dog is a 4-person electronic duo from New York City, making music that is just as much pop as the performers are human; its unclear. Mechanical instrumentation played with an inebriated-mule-like precision. They played their first show in January 2014, and quickly added members Mark and Bruce to take on additional space. The band released their self-titled EP on Haord Records in October 2014, with a subsequent reissue on Ramp Local! (Wharf Cat subsidiary) in Mid-2015. While becoming known for their theatrical live shows across the Northeast US, Macula Dog has made numerous TV and radio appearances, with live sets on WNYU's New Afternoon Show, Know-Wave radio, and The Special Without Brett Davis, and additionally with themes for Adult Swim's Live Crossword Puzzle show, and NYC public access programming.

Macula Dog will now release their debut full length LP, Why Do You Look Like Your Dog? Asking, do we begin to look like our "dog"? Or are we looking for a "dog" like us? Did intense collaboration and cohabitation morph its participants into one legal unit or act as the initial hammer-blow to the wedge of disownment? Can a fabricated family adopt the nuclear bonds of its atomic counterpart? "WDYLLYD" is much like a rock: very accessible but too much to swallow.
