Maybe they return with a brand-new surprise album. With all that in mind, Dog Date are back.<\/p>\n<p>The New York garage-punk crew Dog Date started in 2015 as frontman Dylan Kennedy&#8217;s solo project. It grew into a full band with a double-drummer lineup in time for the 2024 album <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2253245\/dog-date-nuff-said\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Zinger<\/em><\/a>, which was where I got on board. Last year, though, Kennedy <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DK9zfYNRqyd\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posted the news of the band&#8217;s breakup<\/a> on Instagram: &#8220;It\u2019s been a lot of fun but sadly it\u2019s time to say goodbye for now.&#8221; It turns out that Dog Date&#8217;s reports of their own demise were greatly exaggerated.<\/p>\n<p>Today, with only a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbBG1D7Tpuf\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cryptic Instagram post<\/a> as advance warning, Dog Date suddenly showed up on Bandcamp with a new eight-song, 15-minute album called <em>Perfectly<\/em>. The Bandcamp description says that Dylan Kennedy wrote, recorded, and performed everything himself, so it would appear that Dog Date is back to being a solo project. But the songs themselves are rawkus garage-punk rave-ups that sound like they were recorded by a band of freaked-out wildmen in the same room at the same time. I don&#8217;t know how you achieve that as a single musician recording entirely by yourself, but that&#8217;s what Kennedy did.
