Having built a strong foundation as an outstanding band and songwriting group, Switzerland breakthrough Luna & The Gents boldly and beautifully exceed all expectations this season, taking things to unignorable, catchy and quirky new levels.
This latest take on swingin’ vintage pop is a sensational and colourful new song, with lush acoustic riffs, characterful vocals, and snappy, fun lyrics, of brief lines building towards a satisfying crescendo.
In short, Doggy is a fun and uplifting confrontation of the universal behaviours we’ve come to know and love about our four-legged friends.
Composed by Leendert van Stripriaan, with lyrics from Evelyne Péquignot, Doggy is a true collaborative effort, which brings humour, heart, talent and vibrancy together in an unforgettable way.
Noting Evelyne also providing those sensational, unmistakable vocals, and Leendert as the overall producer, the set-up features Matthias van Stipriaan on guitars and direction, Yves de Groot on keys, Rainer Schudel on bass, and Andy Lang on drums.
Stylistically taking listeners back to the swinging smoky stages of eras past, Doggy makes sure to weave in that clarity and personality of the unmistakable LUNA & The Gents, effectively fusing nostalgia and originality, for an anthemic and respectably soulful overview of man’s best friend.
Building beautifully, Doggy underlines the songwriting prowess and unrivalled, seamless musicianship of LUNA & The Gents in a way that’s likely to get you streaming through their extended catalogue. The band’s retro charm and modern vibe combined has allowed them to amass tens of thousands of monthly listeners, and has welcomed to the scene a multitude of songs from Leendert van Stripriaan’s past and present repertoire.
LUNA & The Gents consistently bring the good vibes, catchy melodies, and colourful identity to their organic live band approach, capturing both sensitivity and warmth amidst an upbeat, engaging and ever-impressive set-up and style.
Instantly an earworm, Doggy is a relatable nod to life alongside our beloved dogs, and the lyrics present the story of a headstrong poodle who truly believes he’s a wolf. Intertwining subtle aspects of pop, rock and blues, the single is a joyful celebration of the incomparable companionship between an owner and their dog.
It’s a playful, unignorable ode to that connection, and at the same time, it’s a timeless and impassioned, impressive representation of the ability and tightness of LUNA & The Gents as a modern indie act.
Recorded live in the studio, as with all of their releases, Doggy unities real-time instruments with classic studio tech, and the results speak volumes.
