'DOG FM is the debut release by the London-based duo of field recordist Oliver Chapman and poet Phoebe Eccles. Combining Chapman’s seemingly banal snapshots of a family car journey with Eccles’ fantastic, reflective spoken verse, DOG FM deftly transports the listener through a series of uncanny and oft-times bizarre audio travelogs where tension and expanse alternate to disorientating effect. By exploring the dynamics of a typical close-quarters family exchange, and with repeated use of ‘canine’ annotation, Chapman reimagines the car as both a confine and a means of escape, with Eccles’ verse acting as thematic glue, bonding memory, dream and textural reference to the road map. DOG FM brings a multifaceted lens over a commonplace event, exploding our expectations, and allowing us to surrender the wheel —and our fate— to kismet outcomes.' Graham Lambkin 2025
This is my absolute favorite album of all time, words can not even begin to describe how much I love it. It nails the concept of dementia as an album perfectly 100/10. I don't know if I could find anything better than this. rod
Beautifully hushed and spare compositions from Louis Gardner, setting his whispery vocals above acoustic guitar & piano. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 8, 2025
Beautifully cinematic, audio documentary with shades of the greatness of Errol Morris. My ears say this is the best documentary I saw (with my ears) and with my own inner vision. Deeply Personal sleepwalking with surreal transitions of a lucid dream. atelierlala
