Believe This Rain is album #5 by Dogbreth if I’m not mistaken. Every two or three years, Dogbreth releases a record, and the sound of the band has evolved constantly which has been a joy to witness. On their latest record, Dogbreth have constructed a house build from equal parts Big Staresque powerpop and ’00s indie rock, incorporating some subtle americana elements. Believe This Rain is inviting and makes you feel at home right away. It’s the kind of record that you can enjoy on a superficial level, but has sufficient layers to draw in more attentive listeners.
Believe This Rain sounds like the kind of record that could have been huge two decades ago. It’s a diverse record that contains subdued acoustic guitar pop, laid back indie rock, and sweet powerpop, and I’m not skipping any of the songs. Out now through Phat ‘n’ Phunky.
