Dogs in Heaven by Silver Gore
For fans of Jockstrap, Magdalena Bay, MGMT, and wild emotional swings resulting from a firm commitment to living in the moment, Dogs in Heaven by Silver Gore takes post-hyperpop into directions subtly cinematic yet charmingly personal. Balancing calculated, graceful dynamic swells with an undying commitment to extreme and intense digital sounds, post punk foundations sprout into an artistic language with a focused purpose and an unmistakable identity. Lyrics rapidly oscillate between deep, romantic comfort and intense, nostalgic yearning, reacting sharply to the emotional temperature changes of unstable relationships and would-be paradise. Taking the EP as a whole, we see the slow unfolding of a self-derived stability and value which smooths over this intense terrain into something equally emotionally effective but significantly more personally enjoyable. With sensitivity in one hand and rationality in the other, we stand ready to survive and even appreciate life in all its absurdity.
