limited clear lp + cd + download doggod' explores broader swaths of sonic terrain, employs a greater arsenal of tones, and probes larger existential and cosmic themes, all while retaining the band’s signature sense of the forbidden, the forsaken, and the foreboding.across the entirety of 'doggod', l.a. witch never strays from their muse. on “i hunt you pray,” pai lays down a hypnotic bass throb while english employs a cyclical krautrock groove and sanchez paints a picture of an abandoned dog on the roadside, alone in the night, living as both the hunter and the hunted. on “eyes of love,” the band harnesses the meditative mid-tempo repetition, deconstructed chords, and esoteric ruminations on love, death, and spirituality that made lungfish such a beloved entity. it reinforces the parallel between the unwavering love seen in the eyes of a dog and the self-sacrifice of a savior. on “the lines,” the band takes the propulsive pulse of post-punk and adds an extra dose of chorus to the mix. “chorus is a modern effect that comes from the idea of replicating the slight pitch discrepancies of a choir. there is a shimmering quality which ties us back into this spiritual godly feel,” sanchez explains. coupled with the addition of organ and applied to a brooding minor-key melody, the song simultaneously conjures both the holy and the sacrilegious.
