You may not know the name Scott McMicken, but as co-leader of the beloved Philly-based Dr. Dog, his voice and tunes are familiar to many. While that band will apparently still be releasing new music despite no longer touring, Scotty's got a new all caps cohort called THE EVER-EXPANDING that provides an outlet for the guitarist's songwriting and brings Dog fans back to the low(er)-fi early days of the mid-aughts. On Shabang, the group takes McMicken's tunes and leans into a reggae-ish feel for a number of them. It's a relaxed, loose affair that will serve as a quality soundtrack for warmer days ahead.
