A Giant Dog – “Photograph”

A Giant Dog – “Photograph”

Austin punk-rockers A Giant Dog are returning this summer with a new album called Toy, their second for Merge Records and their second to feature Britt Daniel, frontman of Austin indie-rock heroes Spoon, on one track. Today, they’re sharing lead single “Photograph,” and thankfully, it’s not a Nickelback cover. Instead, it’s an energetic love song about long-term commitment, with Andrew Cashen and Sabrina Ellis singing breathlessly about the ravages of time: “I wanna see you with your saggy tits/ I wanna see you with your jeans all split/ I wanna kiss you when your teeth all rot/ And all your memories have been forgot.” Listen below.

And here’s a trailer for the album:
