2025 has been a year of great reflection. As storms rage outside, seeking refuge – in our favorite movies and TV shows, in great books, and in favorite records – becomes increasingly important. With their new album, Dog Ear, The Bros. Landreth extend a comforting embrace with calming musical waves and profound, soul-stirring lyrics that speak to hope for tomorrow.
Dog Ear waters the rosy petals that often poke through tragedy and ruin–until blossoming into a siren call to never take this fleeting existence for granted. “Nothing lasts forever, but everything tries” rings the album’s central lyric in the title track. That sentiment bleeds into the rest of the album, as Dave and Joey Landreth pull the listener closer and confide that “silence isn’t something we’re meant to face alone,” on “Knuckles,” a tender, yet scorching, duet with Bonnie Raitt, continuing: “You think that it protects you, but it’s loneliness that gets you every single time.”
