Swedish post-punk band Dogsmile’s newest release is rather retro-sounding, with its jangling guitars and synth. Possibly, this is due to the influence of the band’s roots in Camoflague, a band popular in the 90s. Yet, the EP still manages to sound fresh with its unique melodic arrangements, resonant lyrics and addictive hooks. It has an almost otherworldly feel, with its reverb, breathy backing vocals and its mix of orchestral and electronic instruments, but it just works. LT
