With the release of their second full-length album, Prime Corner, Aotearoa indie-rock band Office Dog have quickly earned acclaim on both sides of the Pacific. Stereogum praised the group’s sound as “a propulsive, guitar-heavy anthem,” while UnderTheRadar described recent single Gold Things as a “triumphant new slab of post-punk/avant-rock.” Rolling Stone featured the band in its coveted Songs You Need to Know series for Reins, which The New Zealand Listener hailed as a “bristling, guitar-driven alt-rock single from this fist-tight Auckland trio.”
