Dogs Die in Hot Cars: “Celebrity Sanctum” (2004)
I can’t believe this album is almost a decade old now. In 2004 Scotland’s Dogs Die in Hot Cars gave us something fresh by updating 80’s new wave, specifically the slightly goofy sounds of XTC, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Talking Heads. If you like tuneful, not-too-serious pop that sounds just a little like the stuff from a few decades ago, I highly recommend you pick up their only album, Please Describe Yourself. Current CD price on Amazon.com: less than four bucks.
