A Giant Dog, Preps to Release 6th Studio Concept Album Bite

What fans have grown to expect from this rough-and-rowdy crew, Bite is an intricately constructed concept album, a dense tale about its protagonist’s ultimately tragic days in a “virtual utopia” called Avalonia. New sounds and textures abound, including, most notably, sumptuous string arrangements. Fans eager to learn more about the narrative and its many themes—among them gender dysphoria and the inherent dangers of virtual reality—need not fear, because the band has completed a full-fledged screenplay to support it.

Since forming in Austin in 2008,A Giant Dog has drawn in audiences worldwide with their joyfully anarchic performances and gritty, playfully incisive recordings. Though the Texas band has already carved out a totally distinct niche with their existing works, it feels as though they’ve finally found themselves after recording a concept album in rural France. With lore as packed as it comes—points if you can spot all the Radiohead references and name all the monsters—and a cadre of global devotees of their freight train of a sound, this year finds A Giant Dog truly primed to withstand the glare of the international spotlight.

Bite is out everywhere August 25th
