TRAPPING A CITY IN SUNSET WITHIN A SONG, SMALL DOGS’ DEBUT SINGLE ‘DAR ES SALAAM’ IS A BEAUTY TO BEHOLD.

Trapping a city in sunset within a song, small dogs’ debut single ‘Dar Es Salaam’ is a beauty to behold.
If George, the puppeteer of small dogs’, had to be defined with references to another, it would be through some pop manifestation of a Sufjan Stevens high on the endorphins of love. Tied together with exquisite production, this track sees distortion reigning supreme. Buzzing between hazy vocals, bumbling guitars fading into skyscrapers and lazing drums, it takes time for the tune to become energised. Stimulated in the largely instrumental last minute, merging into a breezy wall of sound before the auditory darkness consumes all, and the day in Dar Es Salaam comes to a close.
Influenced by George’s attempted migration from London to New York, which accidentally left him in east Africa learning from all he came into contact with for a year, this is a global track to unite all who listen in its magnificence.
