Dog Race
Wednesday, September 17, 19:30Bedford and London's gothic five-piece Dog Race today announce that their much-anticipated debut EP, "Return The Day", will be coming June 6th on Fascination Street Records. They also share a new single in the form of the spectral (almost) title-track "Return The Day (Colours)".
“All the weirdos, the weirdos in chat. Everybody watching who is into some weird shit, especially stuff that has a bit of a goth edge to it, pay attention to this track over here…This track over here has really stunned me…Unreal vibe.” - The Needle Drop
"A fiercely inventive sound that sets them apart from their guitar-wielding peers. The band’s angular bangers might be navigating dark themes of anxiety and inner turmoil, but sonically they’re awash with a strobing and playful abandon." - NME
“Wild that thing, isn’t it” - Jack Saunders BBC Radio 1
“A hypnotic earworm… bookies have already got their eyes fixed on this band” - So Young
“Offering splinters of lo-fi analogue electronics alongside a surrealist alt-pop viewpoint. Engaging and original” - CLASH
“Will unite fans across the alternative spectrum” - The Line of Best Fit
"Another captivating, pulsating, Gothic-inspired listen." - DIY
"Really Very Good." - Dork
"The bookies have already got their eyes fixed on this band." - So Young
"Return The Day (Colours)" is a blistering, fast-paced outcry. Like a cold splash to the face, it’s a portrait of joy fading to grey, where inspiration dulls and everything once vivid begins to blur.
Driven by rapid, relentless drums, gritty synths, and a bassline that never lets up, the track feels like freefall. Airy textures hover above the chaos, caught between momentum and melancholy; it’s urgent, breathless, and claustrophobic, giving that signature Dog Race unease.
