    ‘WOOF.’ is brilliant, dark, and downright batshit crazy.
  2. 100
    Scream the words and dive head-first into the Fat Dog experience, because ‘Woof.’ is pure, unbridled escapism – just what the world needs right now.

    The group's reputation as London's craziest live act is not overexaggerated -- the fact that they've managed to capture that energy on record is exhilarating. They've bottled the spirit of chaos that has been haunting the masses in these uncertain times, catalyzing it into something that can be collectively expunged.

    Woof has to be one of the weirdest debut albums of the year, a record that throws everything at the wall in the conviction that some of it will stick and so what if it doesn’t. [Nov 2024, p.34]

    WOOF charms mainly by the dint of its barefaced cheek: a record like this has been long overdue, especially since the pandemic.

    It scrambles the brain, leaves the heart feeling empty, but compels the body to move. Woof scratches that primal itch. It's the sound of a society unraveling, and Fat Dog has captured it.

    WOOF. is an intense joy, and absolute in establishing Fat Dog. It can, however, hit the same notes throughout.

    For all its colour and intensity, there’s breadth here, too.

    WOOF. is a debut that serves its main purposes, establishing Fat Dog as a band to watch and making some music for folks to lose their minds to.

    Sometimes, it leans too far into its theatricality to be the barreling, hedonistic music it gestures toward. But at its best, Fat Dog is a circus.

    By now there’s no doubting that Fat Dog are a blindingly fun prospect, and there’s plenty of potential contained within Woof, and it’s no surprise that they’ve garnered such a following in such a short space of time.
