Despite starting with chimes of melodic summer wistfulness, once the deadbeat conversational lyrics of Dog Water’s debut single "Forget Your Life" hit us, it is clear we are descended into the underbelly of… the city, the life, the mind, all three and beyond, and the multiple dimensions that inhabits them. Multi-genre mash, the style is one of a collage of sepia Polaroids, incongruous on paper, awesome for audio: dreamy melodies, frantic power chords, loud-quiet-loud moments… it all sounds like C86 stretched to the new millennium. Catch them at Glasslands on the 23rd with Chimes, Exploded View, Bob and Martha for some alternative (and fuzzy) Christmas sparkle. – Francesca Baker
