Seattle's Moondoggies play timeless American music. Warm three-part harmonies, gothic Rhodes organ and wanderlust guitar mark a sound rooted in boogie blues and cosmic country. Whipsmart songwriting leads to hook-heavy tunes that bristle with originality. Shades of gospel, blues, rock and country commingle, and wall-of-sound harmonies radiate joy and passion. The influences of the Band, the Byrds, and especially early Grateful Dead are evident, though The Moondoggies' lyrical economy and compositional sensibility render these tracks fresh and unique.
