Paolo Murgia I loved Pile at first sight. This, it took some times but now is sticked in my mind. They're good, really. Favorite track: Night Terror.

vaultah I've replayed this album at least a dozen times, singing along and playing imaginary guitar or drums. It's instrumentally stellar, and Sabrina's voice sounds so fragile and powerful at the same time. The music, the lyrics, the vocals -- they just play so amazing together. There isn't even a single forgettable song. Favorite track: Night Terror.

wagui Starts slow and builds. I can't stop myself... So good it makes me greedy for more. More please.

Carlos When I first listened to Toy, I was sad it didn't sound aggressive like Pile. A few listens later and I was singing along with it. It's quieter than Pile, but it's another great album by A Giant Dog. Favorite track: Toy Gun.

about

A Giant Dog Austin, Texas

A Giant Dog is raucous ear candy culled from the hook-driven melodies of Slade, the glammy swagger of Marc Bolan, the morbid fantasy of Killer-era Alice Cooper, and the unpredictable wit of Sparks. These songs are by, for, and about the losers, freaks, and outcasts. The lonely. The terminally horny. Boozehounds and party animals. ... more
