Gulfer

 
"Formed in Montreal back in 2011, and with a decisive haul of records already under their belts, Dog Bless feels like a new chapter for Gulfer, that sense of recklessness they manage so well curtailed with just the right amount of restraint, just the right balance between the dark and light. “Baseball” is indicative of that – but it also slams; those twinkling guitars, those guttural vocals, as interesting and invigorating as ever before." - Tom Johnson (Gold Flake Paint)

"One of the last revival-style emo bands standing sings about boredom and getting older on their frankly audacious second album." - Pitchfork (7.4)

Gulfer's inception in December of 2011 feels like it occurred a lifetime ago. But that's how it's supposed to feel when the local DIY band is coming up on their sixth release and fifth international tour. Bands like Gulfer simply aren't supposed to last in this world, and they've come too long a way to go unnoticed. Perhaps that's why they just signed to Topshelf Records, Big Scary Monsters and Friend of Mine Records with their second full length record, 'Dog Bless.’

Predictably, the new full length from the Montreal-based quartet is their best work yet. It features a trio of three song movements, each punctuated with electronic compositions much unlike the band's previous work. At 12 songs deep, 'Dog Bless' appears ambitious next to its 2015 predecessor 'What Gives'. But the final product matches the ambition in its eloquent delivery of anthemic, sensibly technical emo.
