"Lyin (Pt. 1-4)," a track available on a tour-only split 7-inch commemorating this winter tour with goth-pop touring mates Dog Bite, reveals those sunny melodies and eagerly gleeful tunes are still there, but with a curious nod to Stones Throw's funky aesthetic and '80s/'90s R&B.
Stream Dog Bite's "Would Be" from the tour-only split (courtesy of Carpark Records' Soundcloud) for a taste of their new material as well.
Dog Bite plays the Basement on Saturday, January 19 with Red Sea and Magic Apron. $7. 9 p.m.
