Dr Do

From the early days of the '60s, inspired psych-pop to the groove-punk and pastoral folk-rock of later releases, Dr. Dog of Philadelphia has retained a long-lasting devotion to their own artistic evolution. Emerging in the mid-2000s as a staple of Park the Van's roster, they moved to Anti-; the end of the decade, where they hit a critical high-water mark with an expansive B-Room in 2013. Preserving the spirit of DIY that helped shape them, the band eventually designed their own custom-built studio, and later an in-house label, We Buy Gold Records.

Dr. Dog started as a part-time outshoot of Raccoon's more mainstream indie rock act. Over several years, they found enough spare time to record The Psychedelic Swamp, self-released in 2001. At the end of Raccoon, McMicken and Leaman turned Dr. Dog into a proper band. The lineup released 2003's more focused and poppy Toothbrush, which received a low-key, self-distributed release like The Psychedelic Swamp. The stopgap EP Takers and Leavers was released in September 2006 in advance of We All Belong, which arrived in early 2007. After five albums on the Anti- label, Dr. Dog opted to release their tenth album, 2018's Critical Equation, via their own We Buy Gold Records.
