Dog Age was started over a decade ago in Oslo, Norway. Several singles and albums were issued on different labels under slightly different lineups since their debut LP. Initially playing industrial synthesized pop, they quickly embraced ethereal folk-pop psychedelia splashed with prog-rock touches – Revolver-era Beatles meets early Pink Floyd.
The new album, Reefy Seadragon, is their first recording in several years. It is a psychedelic pop rock jewel sounding very much like the Elephant 6 artists Apples In Stereo and Olivia Tremor Control. The production is clean, with lysergic flourishes throughout the album – at times the band sounds like Syd Barrett and at other times they evoke the ultra-sheen melodicism of the French band Air.
Their strong guitar work is laced with harpsichord, strings, and backward recordings; carefree lyrics, sometimes stream of consciousness psychedelia, reach the ear with simple yet irresistible vocal harmonies straight out of the British Isles of 1967.

"At the top of his game, Dog Age whips up an exciting version of the best song George Harrison ever wrote: 'Blue Jay Way,'..."
