The Big Takeover #69

This is the second record from the band led by twins Rich and Rob Kwait, and it’s a welcome extension in the same vein. I called their first record a fine, Fine Superfine disc in these pages, and they don’t disappoint here, either. Whether it’s the extended guitar yearnings on “High Falls” or the Can like wah-wah on the propulsive road trip song “Bloom,” the music is as inventive as it is soothing. Nine other members round out Cabin Dogs on pedal steel, violin, djembe, and other implements, and where they covered Neil Young’s “One Of These Days” on their debut, they continue paying their respects this time with Bob Dylan’s “New Morning.” You’ll be a better person for listening to this.
