Description
First vinyl release of Chicago upstarts Dwaal Troupe, a band led by and featuring Kai Slater (guitarist from Lifeguards & editor of zine Hallogallo). Together with Horsegirl, Post Office Winter, and others, Dwaal Troupe is leading a much-heralded burgeoning youth indie music scene in the windy city. Lucky Dog is a perfect blend of Elephant 6 DIY aesthetic, with elements of both Guided By Voices and Sebadoh in the mix and at play as well. In her 2022 Bandcamp Daily profile A Guide to Chicago's Young Indie Scene, Anna White describes Dwaal Troupe's music as having a circus-y playfulness, akin to Elephant 6 recording artists still lo-fi, but favoring off-kilter acoustics and harmonies. This aesthetic shines through in the shimmering power of the first single from the album, the title track Lucky Dog. Other standout tracks include € Shakes the Walls at Night, I've Told You Better, and Start A House Fire.
