NYC's Retail Drugs share 'little dog', the final single from their upcoming album rECKless dRIVing. The new track follows previous releases 'person A' and 'manny' as part of a larger collection of deep cuts from the project's debut LP i love you so!. 'little dog' is a lighter, more playful contrast to the fast, static tempo of 'project A' and slow-warbled sludge of 'manny'. Vocalist Jake Brooks taps into a more sensitive corner of his range, offering sympathetic, curious observations of a dog playing in the sun that are gently reassured by the repeated phrase: "It's alright, it's alright". There's a mellow tone to the acoustic guitar, percussive patter and plump bassline that plays off of Brooks' buoyant harmonies. Paired with slow-motion music video of a little white dog playing in the backyard -- captured in a low-angled panorama -- Retail Drugs perfectly evoke the feeling of transported into a memory. Particularly, one of a hungover Brooks actually singing the song to a skittish dog. 'little dog' is a fleeting snapshot of a story that's a little bit sweet and a little bit silly, adding something memorable to the mundane. rECKless dRIVing is due this Friday, 1st August via Angel Tapes/Fire Talk. -Kayla Sandiford
