Spraydog
Mint Hand
Kittridge Records

On Spraydog's third album (first to be released in the US) this five-piece from England combines boy/girl vocals 
with plenty of noise and fuzzy guitars in a sound which is reminiscent of the US 90s lo-fi indie rock scene.

Standout tracks include the shambolic but rocking "Cal-Neva," which sounds like if a Lou Barlow-era Dinosaur Jr. 
formed a supergroup with Sonic Youth to try and create a two-minute "pop" song. Also, the extremely catchy 
"Girls Know Girls" has an explosive chorus mixed in with mopey verses that works great. Occasionally the tag-
team boy/girl vocals gets a little tiring. It would be nice to hear either one of the vocalists do some solo vocals 
on a song or two. And while I know that Spraydog is keeping their songs short and sweet, it seems that their 
guitars often teeter on the edge of guitar freakouts ala Sonic Youth. It would be nice to hear them do two-
minute thirty-second pop song format and let their hair down in a noise guitar jam.

Spraydog manages to conjure up the indie rock essence of the pre-Nirvana explosion 90s. I hope they didn't shell 
out a ton of dough on a recording studio because most of this material sounds like it could have been recorded 
on a 4-track - and that's not a bad thing.
