    Just as pretty but more purposeful than Jones' previous output, Tranquilizers makes good on the promise of Dog Bite's debut and then some.

    Tranquilizers is an album that’s entrancing enough to survive its occasional foray into the lacklustre, and definitely one to cue up when the sky gets a little bit bluer.

    Phil Jones (aka Dog Bite) operates in a hazy field where shoegaze and '80s goth intersect.

    Tranquilizers is by no means a perfect record, but it is a record which shows that this is a band who have finally got the balance needed in their sound to create something arresting and fun.

    Many of the songs indistinguishably work together to guard from it, making the album as a whole feel like one long, subdued tranquilized state.
