LUNA & The Gents’ fifth single, Doggy, is a genuinely charming and musically vibrant portrait of life with a lovable but headstrong four-legged friend. Far more than just a novelty track, the Basel-based band delivers a song infused with humor, heart, and a wonderfully sticky melody that ensures immediate sing-along status.
The single’s charm lies in its lyrical specificity, detailing the furry chaos of a dog that thinks he’s a wolf. Frontwoman Evelyne Péquignot’s lyrics frame the everyday challenges of pet ownership with warmth and a knowing smile, turning patience and quirky cohabitation into a compelling musical theme.
Musically, Doggy is a delightful hybrid, blending robust rock guitar riffs from Matthias van Stipriaan with undeniable pop sensibilities and a slight bluesy touch. This mix creates a rich, textured sound that is both toe-tapping and timeless. Crucially, LUNA & The Gents emphasize authenticity, recording all tracks live in the studio using only real instruments and classic technology. This commitment to a genuine, timeless sound is evident in the track’s clear production and the cohesive, organic performance from the entire lineup.
Doggy is an absolute must-listen for animal lovers, but its universal themes of lighthearted frustration and unconditional joy give it broad appeal. It’s guaranteed to make listeners smile and is a fantastic addition to the band’s catalog. Listen to this fun tune now on LUNA & The Gents’ YouTube channel.
