Philadelphia's Dr. Dog made Easy Beat the old-fashioned way, on quarter-inch eight-track tape in their own home studio, and the 2005 album still sounds warm enough to toast bread on.
Their second album and the first release on Park the Van, it introduced plenty of listeners to a band that seemed to have been raised on sixties pop and the loose, rootsy rock of the early seventies rather than anything happening around them. Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken traded vocals and songs, and the band engineered everything themselves before handing the tapes to Bill Moriarty to mix.
The World May Never Know opens with ramshackle harmonies and a loping groove, and The Pretender stretches out over five and a half minutes of woozy psychedelic pop. Oh No carries a rough-edged swagger, while the title track glides along on a lazy, sunlit rhythm, with Brendan Cooney's string arrangements adding colour along the way.
Everything has that slightly wobbly, lived-in feel of a band playing together in one room, cheap gear and big ideas, harmonies stacked to the ceiling.
It's the record that set Dr. Dog on their way, and two decades later it still sounds like a summer afternoon with every window open.
