Barking to Gospel

Barking to Gospel was written over the course of 2019 at the band’s rehearsal studio in Hackney, and then recorded live over a weekend just before the UK went into lockdown in 2020. As the world ground to a halt, the band sent the raw files to Kieran Hebden (FOUR TET), who agreed to mix the EP while self-isolating in upstate New York, and then the EP was mastered at Invada, the studio run by Geoff Barrow (PORTISHEAD, BEAK>) in Bristol. Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music ‘A very pretty and moving thing it is too.. a different type of musical texture’ Loud & Quiet (Barking to Gospel review): 'melodic, foot-tapping but reverb-drenched kosmische... the Polyfilla between the rooms of rising UK post-rock and electronica.’ New Music Saturdays podcast (Lab Coats review) ‘An instrumental version of the Strokes on acid...after a few too many beers’ Norman Records, Barking to Gospel ‘..danceable post-rock laced with mesmerizing hypnotic grooves.’ DOG UNIT // BARKING TO GOSPEL EP 1.

With Kieren Hebden on mixing duties, Hackney-based instrumental rock group Dog Unit are an enticing new prospect on the evidence of this EP
