The Dig

With Electric Toys, The Dig has crafted 12 rock songs of various shapes, sizes, and moods, linked by the band’s indelible hooks. Written and arranged by all four members, the songs often tell a story: darkish tales with twisted circumstances and desperate people driven to do bad things. Alternately, there are classical references to girls, love, and the many points in-between. Mosseri and Baldwin alternate lead vocals throughout the album; Mosseri’s soaring, roguish tenor takes lead on the poppier tracks, while Baldwin’s raspy, weathered croon holds court on the guitar-heavy, wall-rattling anthems. Differing in sound, their voices retain a stylistic similarity won by playing, singing, and writing together for the past 14 years.

The Dig will release Electric Toys on June 8th.
