A peppy rock radiance charms on “Clunkers,” a new single from California-based band Why Dogs Why. Sharp melodic shifts — from soaring, harmonious surf-y convergences to punk-touched power-pop yearning — complement a crisp overall production. The “let’s write some clunkers together, baby,” anthemic hook and “our friends will never understand,” finality build for a climactic, replay-inducing ascent.
The track comes via Why Dogs Why’s upcoming EP, Play The Hits, out on May 6th. Produced by Greg Cortez, the EP was recorded at Elliott Smith’s old studio in Los Angeles: New Monkey Studios.
