Office Dog - Doggerland

[Shipping - 20th September]

Office Dog - Doggerland 

Flying Nun Records

Office Dog return to present their new forthcoming EP Doggerland, out on September 20 via Flying Nun Records
in Aotearoa & Australia and New West Records everywhere else. 
The 7 song EP marks a shift for the band, leaning into softer textures and more experimental songwriting. 
Produced by De Stevens (Marlin’s Dreaming) at Roundhead Studios , the EP follows closely on the heels of their debut album,
Spiel, which was released worldwide earlier this year to universal acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork(7.5/10),
Brooklyn Vegan, Undertheradar, MOJO, Uncut and more.

 “Doggerland is the name of a place in the northern hemisphere that was once
inhabited by people and then completely submerged by the sea. Since themes of water, 
surfacing, and things like that were naturally appearing in my lyrics as we
worked on these songs in late 2023, we named the EP after it."
Kane Strang says about the project.
"I’m glad we did because I feel like this word not only hints at the lyrical
themes this time around but also at how these tracks are different sonically from
Spiel and other songs we’ve done they’re definitely softer, more fluid and spontaneous.”
Amidst a busy solo career with acclaimed releases, Kane Strang formed Office Dog
at the end of 2021. After temporarily moving from his hometown of Dunedin (home to
The Chills, The Clean, The Verlaines, etc) to Auckland, he sought a more collaborative
approach with drummer Mitchell Innes and bassist Rassani Tolovaa
Over the next year, fragments began assembling into songs, ultimately culminating in the creation
of their debut album. Live appearances supporting Dinosaur Jr. and Sleater Kinney
quickly followed and the band was also named Te Rōpū Mariu (Favourite Group) at the beloved
Student Radio Network Awards in 2023. Finding immediate streaming success, the Spiel single 'Big Air'
quickly generated more than 500k streams and the band graced the cover of multiple top playlists at
Spotify and TIDAL
