At Home, Dog Unit's debut album, is more than just a collection of individually wound super-melodic instrumental rock songs; it's a suite of music precision-engineered for a single sitting. World creation has been the band's MO since their inception in 2019, writing and performing music designed to arc over the course of an uninterrupted hour, with the four Londoners' musical idiosyncrasies combining for just the right recipe: Henry Scowcroft and Sam Walton on guitars that alternate between howling feedback and poised melodicism, James Weaver, a pop-dub bass maestro whose minimalist style reveals a genius for conciseness, and motorik drummer Lucy Jamieson, the most reliable timekeeper this side of an atomic clock. Together, there's a sense that this isn't four musicians, but a 16-limbed creature guiding its listeners on an undulating journey of sleek modernist wonder, like a bullet train scything beautifully through Japanese countryside. Over the course of 2023, they wrote and recorded in the studio while trying out newly written parts of At Home at their Servant Jazz Quarters live residency. Each time at the intimate Dalston bar, the band tweaked and perfected their new material in front of a curious audience who grew into a cult following, drawn to an unorthodox live show in which a boiler-suited band, seated in horseshoe formation, played straight through for a gloriously intense unbroken hour of music. In short, At Home is Dog Unit's first major statement. That statement may be wordless, but it's also sonically and conceptually articulate: here are four friends and native Londoners making an album in their home city that's custom-built to feel enveloping, warm and transporting as listeners wend their way through its running order. Put simply, with this debut record of all-encompassing world-building, Dog Unit are inviting you to lap up those tunes, bathe in those washes of sound, and yes, even revel in those pauses - ultimately, they want you to feel At Home.
