DOGGERLAND EP (2024)

EP Credits & Lyrics HERE
EP Announcement Press Release HERE

"Heavy, light, dense and buoyant, Doggerland is an heir to Sonic Youth at their melodic, creative best." **** - MOJO 

"Doggerland is not like the area it was named after—it does not give way to the gloomy skies and choppy waters that surround it. Cathartic and bare-boned, it airs out the grievances and struggles that come with almost losing oneself, and steps forward into the future." - Paste Magazine

"Doggerland, a follow up to early 2024's remarkable LP Spiel, finds Office Dog in expansive form, redefining and shifting the heavy hitting hooks of Spiel into equally exhilarating territory." - Post-Trash 

"After hearing Doggerland, it's hard not to anticipate a dark and immersive sophomore LP from the band, but without getting ahead of ourselves, the EP stands on its own merit." - Editor's Choice - AllMusic

SPIEL (2024)

Album Credits & Lyrics HERE
Album Announcement Press Release HERE

"Office Dog submerge their brand of indie rock under scuzzy noise until the bubbles stop rising to the top... Spiel blows up the band's deadpan vocals and raw guitar so that the tiny fragments that remain rain down like ash—unnerving and pretty simultaneously—like Truth Club covering Wednesday." - Pitchfork 

“…So disregarding of convention it's impossible to second guess where a song might go next. It may make for a rollercoaster musical ride, but it's utterly thrilling." 4 Stars - MOJO Magazine 

“…the threesome manage to toe the very fine line between control and chaos, suppression and release.” 8/10 - Uncut Magazine

"Spiel is rough, rugged and immediate, with shades of Wire, Built to Spill, Pinback and Flying Nun's Antipodean lo-fi pioneers the Clean deftly coloring its 12 tracks." - SPIN

 “The band’s style of spiky, deceptively complex guitar rock fits right in alongside classic Flying Nun groups like The Chills, The Verlaines, and the 3Ds.” - Brooklyn Vegan

"...a fuzzy, explosive, and melodic ride." - Flood Magazine 

"The trio’s first record is a dozen sublime indie rock tracks contrasting lo-fi guitars with calm soothing vocals for a puzzlingly beautiful effect... a stellar intro to the band." - Glide Magazine 

"The Auckland-based trio Office Dog — consisting of Kane Strang, Mitchell Innes, and Rassani Tolovaa — wield their impeccable chemistry to rewarding ends on their debut album, Spiel." - Under the Radar Magazine 

“…cementing their reputation as a band that is about to explode.” - Backseat Mafia

"The band is so relentless in pushing their controlled aggression forward that it is an uncontrollable feeling of being swept up in Office Dog's pulsing power." - Bentley's Bandstand
