Please Describe Yourself music CDs Product Description
From the Scottish town that brought you the gentle sounds of Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura comes a horse (or dog) of an entirely different color. Please Describe Yourself album Glaswegian band Dogs Die in Hot Cars sounds like it spent the last several years holed up in a closet with the first four XTC albums, and to fine effect. Though cynics may decry the Andy Partridge-like vocal yelps, New Wave-influenced feel, and brashly melodic popcraft as too derivative, anyone who ever hoisted a lite beer to the uber-geek sounds of DRUMS & WIRES should be overjoyed at the way this gang of Scottish misfits has so perfectly captured that late-1970s/early-'80s vibe. You can almost see the skinny ties swinging back and forth in front of loud, primary-color suits as the Dogs work their magic, kicking up a fair amount of frenetic rock & roll dust even as they show off their well-schooled pop smarts on their debut album, PLEASE DESCRIBE YOURSELF.

" Alternative Press (p. 92) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[O]ne of the catchiest, oddest debuts in recent memory. " CMJ (p. 4) - "[A] revisionist new wave history lesson.... Cheeky Craig Macintosh keeps the energy high..."
Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Please Describe Yourself Album Track Listing
dogs die in hot cars are A+ This is a very good album. I am not sure where the lead singer is from, but he has a Rivers (weezer) sound about his voice. While the lyrics are not good at all, just the sound of the album makes up for it. By beans45601
