The Dog’s Body is a Cookeville, Tennessee-based four-piece that creates a unique blend of southern, alternative, and garage Rock, forming a “Y’allternative” sound that echoes the duality of the modern South.
Landing somewhere between a breezy bliss and a hellish, distorted wall of sound, “Deer of Wisdom” is the new single from The Dog’s Body. The animated and emotional performance is built on the back of warping guitar melodies that juxtapose and collide to create the hectic environment. The impressive guitar work is complemented by an emotionally palpable vocal performance that delivers a poetic narrative filled with turmoil and whimsy. There is a jovial energy to the storytelling that is contradicted by the harsh realities explored in the lyrics, giving “Deer of Wisdom” a unique depth that becomes even more immersive with every listen. There are numerous emotional and sonic layers to this single, but The Dog’s Body miraculously fits all these complexities into digestible parameters. “Deer of Wisdom” is a testament to this young band’s vulnerability and youthful prowess as they fit a lifetime of emotions and understanding into modern rock borders, while simultaneously pushing those exact boundaries to unearth a sonic terrain they can call their own.
