"These odd duck popsters sound totally sizzled on this new 12 inch 45. Side A is a collection of tunes rolled-up earlier this year at Rick White's Elder Schoolhouse studio. It includes a late night number written by Mr. White especially for his Halifax guests. Flip it over, and the entire B side takes a hazy journey lead by infinite guitar, starting with an ending and answering only to that most distant call. Dig? 5 songs - 26:55 minutes. Edition of 400 copies."

"In many ways a pop group's success hinges on their ability to write memorable songs. Dog Day's Night Group not only delivers in this sense, but also shows how simple tunes can convey meaning, beauty, and honesty. From the playful intro 'Lydia,' named after keyboardist Crystal Thili and drummer KC Spidle's fanatical cat, to the sorrowful 'Bright Light,' a song about fate and last chances, the album moves through a broad range of content and mood. In the tradition of great pop bands, Dog Day keeps it simple on Night Group. They are not a band who distracts by over-indulging or showing off. The beats pound straight through, the keyboard plays one well-chosen note at a time, the guitars and bass follow suit. But unlike the countless bands toting incompetence as a selling point, Dog Day demonstrates mastery by playing tight and aggressive, taunting us at times with their understated abilities on tracks like 'Vow,' which plays with timing, starts, stops, and meanders. This album consistently makes the point that minimalism can be a compositional choice, not a foregone conclusion."
