Anglo-Norwegian trio Eyes Of A Blue Dog returned with their second album ‘Hamartia’ this month. An evolution in the sound of their debut album ‘Rise’ which was released in 2012 they’ve infusing their ‘ambient dreamtronica’ , with Elisabeth Nygaard’s soulful almost jazzy alt pop vocals and a more expansive palette. To celebrate we have the premiere listen to their track ‘Blow’, its redolent of a woozy sunshine infected Cardigans track, the melodies pirouetting above strings stings and trip hop beats sweetly reminiscent of Massive Attack….
The band’s Rory Simmons, the trumpeter/guitarist known for his work with Monocled Man and Fringe Magnetic who once again joins singer Elisabeth Nygård and Spin Marvel electronicist Terje Evensen, both also pictured above, comments on the new album: “It’s kind of an alt-pop, experimental cross between Massive Attack/Little Dragon and Portishead.”
