Welcome To The Doghouse<\/span> is an intro of a melodic sort that welcomes you to the musical circus of this album.\u00a0 Funky and typically Doghouse.\u00a0Fool<\/span> shows you just how much of a funky poet that Doghouse really is, its bouncy and fun but yet at the same time like a modern-day ballad from loriet of old with a lot of fun on the side.\u00a0Tumbleweed<\/span> is lovely and bassey in its vibes, again Doghouse tells a great story of a hallucinogenic comedy store.\u00a0 The story is one of he thinks he\u2019s better as a singer, but he so wants to be funny.\u00a0 It was a bad audience Doghouse \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Cunt<\/span> starts with the voice of the great Roy Chubby Brown, then goes on to tell the story of a complete arsehole in which Doghouse embodies for the song.\u00a0 It’s a lovely mix of samples and a great vibe, a bit of electro with a punkish edge.\u00a0Samples play a part on Idiot Savant<\/span> so far and Skull Bone <\/span>starts with a guy telling how he couldn\u2019t get over something then Doghouse goes into a funkatron of wanting to get inside your skull bone.\u00a0 This is an album that you can\u2019t help but move to.\u00a0Intuitive<\/span> is simplistic, minimalistic to start then you get into that happy eccentric Doghouse vibe that is at the very core of this album.\u00a0Song Of Praise<\/span> is a song about control, but not how we control something but how we are controlled and how bad the country truly is.\u00a0 Again its simple but has glorious danceability at heart.<\/p>\n

Living In The Moment<\/span> is Doghouse having a go at the guy who says something at the start of the song, someone with no future as he has no clue about work or how to do anything other than stay on the dole.\u00a0 It’s a comedic ramble enveloped in the Doghouse mastery of vibes.\u00a0Won\u2019t Get Me,<\/span> oh you won\u2019t catch Doghouse and musically you won\u2019t catch him either.\u00a0 I love the way he combines all the elements of the music with his immense vocal ability, knowing what to play and what to say in just the right places to produce a masterpiece of mirth and music.<\/p>\n

Half way through the album Doghouse still keeps giving and you still keep wanting, Sell Out<\/span> is another punky dancey move your body track where he takes tell us of his views about bands who sell out.\u00a0Stone Dead Daddy<\/span> is a drum beat and bass mix up laced with the eccentricity of the vocals and words.\u00a0 This album is Doghouse, Doghouse and more Doghouse as every song has madness and music that you just can\u2019t help wanting more from.\u00a0Serotonin Nil<\/span> is where Doghouse takes you into a dark world, whining and moans Doghouse combines all the elements of his vocals quite cleverly on this track.\u00a0 The music is minimalistic yet all the track needs and Doghouse just layers his vocals in all the right places with clever words at the right moments.<\/p>\n

So what does Dancing In The Sun bring<\/span>?\u00a0 Rhythmic, discordant, dramatic and imaginative.\u00a0 This music has the edge and has the hip, fashionable yet unconventional sound in its fabric.<\/p>\n

Lazers In The Luggage Compartmen<\/span><\/span>t<\/span> is a song about a journey on National Express with a band hiding lazers in their luggage.\u00a0 Doghouse tells a story of a place where you can drink and smoke, down here in the luggage compartment.\u00a0Blanket Hearts<\/span> is a song of reassurance, its kind and tender.\u00a0 A track of such tenderness and love delivered on a Doghouse platter of melody.<\/p>\n

Doghouse chooses perfectly placed samples to compliment his music, the samples are well thought out to go with the lyrics and this shows in I Want It Real.<\/span>\u00a0 This is a perfect miss mash musically and lyrically, it’s clever nonsense in many ways.\u00a0 It has an odd form, it’s a clown but a very well dressed and well-mannered clown.<\/p>\n

Sort Your Fucking Life Out<\/span> provides an electro spectacular, devilish dance with that delirious edge with Doghouse telling you to sort your fucking life out.\u00a0<\/span>Its Not Over To The Fat Lady Grows Wings<\/span><\/span> is a song where Doghouse uses his vocals as an instrument to its full potential, moans and groans used like an art form.\u00a0 I love the slight use of effects here, again the music is simple but it’s filled out to mass effect with clever resonance through modulation in a way of Doghouse\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t Find My Way Home <\/span>is a very ghostly song about being lost and not being able to find your way home, it’s very haunting.\u00a0Well, Well, Well<\/span> is an end to great album and what an end it is, the last great give in an album that’s always giving until the very end.\u00a0 There is no other way to describe this track other than Doghouse, musically and lyrically it carries the tone and madness of Doghouse.<\/p>\n

This has been a very hard album to review an its taken some time, its punk but it’s not, its funky but it’s not, its haunting but it’s not, its mad but it’s extremely clever.\u00a0 Great album, if you want something a little bit different then buy it.<\/p>\n
