intro
Understated, but very typical British indie guitar rock from new band Santa Dog
Santa Dog are a very typical modern-day British indie band; understated, heavily accented vocals, a slight new wave influence, a hint of the Smiths and Jeff Buckley in its glistening, jangly guitars. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing if done well, and Santa Dog do pull it off. In these days of choppy-haired indie dance wannabes, the mere lack of disco rhythms seems incredibly refreshing. Certainly, Santa Dog haven’t exactly torn up the rule book with this EP, but they obviously know how to write a half-decent tune, which is good enough for me.
