REVIEW: Spyderhuff – ‘Everybody Needs A Dog’

Over these last few years, Detroit-based outfit Spyderhuff have been busy refining their infectious psychedelic blues-rock aesthetic. Turning out a flurry of rich and enigmatic releases, all looking to build upon the foundations of what has come before, their tenure to date has been this wildly exploitative one that always manages to find something new and interesting in which to explore. And as they find themselves more settled within their direction than ever before, they return once again to deliver their stellar new EP ‘Everybody Needs A Dog’, a collection that places their unique perspective front and centre.

While these last few years have certainly been a great time for innovation and self-discovery, ‘Everybody Needs A Dog’ finds them in a far more ambitious and confident guise throughout. Blending these rich and alluring guitar grooves with a brilliantly absorbing atmosphere across all four tracks, their newest collection sees them deliver some of their more adventurous material to date. Keeping the momentum moving forward with this pulsing rhythm at every turn, Spyderhuff are certainly looking to make a serious mark with this one.

While plenty has already been said about their adventurous intentions over the years, ‘Everybody Needs A Dog’ shows there is still plenty of fresh and exciting ideas coursing through them right now. Brimming with such a flair for captivating textures from beginning to end, they remain one of the more passionate names currently rising through the ranks.
