Dog Problems

The Format

A maximalist breakup record where biting, self-deprecating lyrics are wrapped in lush 70s-inspired orchestral pop and soaring theatrical melodies.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jubilant explosion of horns and vaudeville piano that kicks off the title track
The way the production strips back to a lonely, echoing vocal on the bridge of If Work Permits
The frantic, ticking-clock percussion and urgent vocal delivery throughout Time Bomb
