Fat Dog will release their debut record, WOOF on September 6th via Domino. The band have also announced a new run of North American tour dates, starting October 19th in Toronto, other stops include Chicago, Los Angeles, and Queens, NY.

Led by frontman Joe Love (real name Joe Love), Fat Dog’s music is for letting go – a thrilling blend of electro-punk, snarling rock’n’roll, techno soundscapes, industrial-pop, and rave euphoria. The sound Fat Dog make, Love says, is screaming-into-a-pillow music. “I wanted to make something ridiculous because I was so bored,” he declares. “I don’t like sanitized music. Even this album is sanitized compared to what’s in my head. I thought it would sound more fucked up.” Produced by Love, James Ford and Jimmy Robertson and with influences including Bicep, I.R.O.K, Kamasi Washington, and the Russian experimental EDM group Little Big, WOOF. passes by in a flash.

Following two singles – “King of the Slugs” and “All the Same” – Fat Dog now unveil “Running”, a slice of unhinged, hook-heavy twisted trance. The video, directed by Stephen Agnew, hints to Ken Russell, Ingmar Bergman and Mandy whilst revealing the true origins of the cult of Fat Dog and their real leader.
