Dog Chasing Sun - Slow Burn

Brooding epic and melancholy; Dog Chasing Sun’s Slow Burn is an authentic reverie of post metallic stoner friendly tunes. For a one man project, the album is an especially noteworthy release. The album has catchy grooves and consistently heavy tracks with thick ambience to set the mood.

Some of the tracks like the creatively titled “Selldestruction” are easy to chill out and relax listening to which helps the album move along smoothly, instead of becoming monotone and dreary after about a half hour.

I would say the reverb in Slow Burn sounds awkward in the mix and at times something almost feels incomplete, but in a way it also enhances the astral trippy vibe. There’s an ethereal richness to each tune. IIt could be cool or annoying depending on how you receive the music.

Sometimes the music can get a bit repetitive and the lack of vocals does sometimes make Slow Burn feel lackluster, but it’s otherwise a solid result of one man’s vision. The variations in style and change ups are welcome and usually done practically.
