onlydigitally – old dog
i know that you’re sick of it
you’re full of resentment
so why try and lie and say you’re fine just like this?
Thien An Nguyen and Alejandro Melero, a Houston-based two piece, are onlydigitally, who ask us this and more on their latest single, “old dog.” The lyrics above are not exactly the most uplifting sentiment, but music talks about the human condition and sometimes that’s how it goes. Banjo and firm, yet gentle guitar tickle your ears in this slice-of-small-town track, lamenting while also accepting the truth (turns out you can’t teach an old dog new tricks).
This an unabashedly folk-tinged indie track (even delving into country a bit) and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Fans of Band of Horses or Big Thief would find a lot to enjoy here.
You can heard “old dog” below from the band’s Soundcloud as well as Apple Music or Spotify. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve heard definitely check out the other half of the single with “poor little thing.” No date on the EP as of yet but stay tuned as we’ll certainly be hearing more from onlydigitally.
