We first came to know Los Angeles, based indie-electronic duo, last month with their playful single, “Show My Teeth”, now the duo delivers their new album, “Good Dogs”, which is their first after a 4 year hiatus.

You can listen to “Good Dogs, Here

Known for their distinctive sound that marries electronic music with raw, emotional indie elements, Michael Nicastro and Matthew Lieberman have been captivating audiences since their formation. Their music, a vibrant mix of synth-driven melodies and bass-heavy rhythms, speaks to the heart of the urban experience, reflecting themes of anxiety, societal observations, and personal introspection.

Crafted remotely via Zoom and home studios, the album explores themes of second chances, loss, love, longing, getting older, pining for youth and trying to find a new normalcy post Covid. The title Good Dogs is a reference to Magic Bronson’s longevity and consistency as a duo over the last decade. With its high-energy sound, blending uptempo drums, throbbing bass, and dynamic vocals, Good Dogs is an anthem of bold living and motivation.

We absolutely love the synergy generated from Magic Bronson, we especially felt this on “We Use To Settle”

Title-track “Good Dogs” is a playful dance track that speaks to the push and pull of attraction.  Lieberman explains, “The verses alternate between who’s in charge or metaphorically on the leash in the sense of who’s controlling the relationship at the moment. Musically it’s a 4 on the floor banger with a throbbing bass line and crunchy vintage synths.” 

The playful “Show My Teeth” comes to life through oscillating, kaleidoscopic synths, and a fast-paced, move-inducing beat. Known for their experimental approach, the track keeps listeners on their toes, with unexpected twists and turns, including a second verse that serves as a nod to Paul McCartney’s part in The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life.”

There is not a bad song to be found on “Good Dogs”, “Get’Em Kid”, “Industry Plant” and “Tombstone” are all standouts on “Good Dogs”

Magic Bronson, have created an absolute brilliant collection of songs on “Good Dogs” , the songs moved our soul and our feet.
