Songdog

SONGDOG are currently a duo based around Welsh songwriter and vocalist Lyndon Morgans and keyboardist/guitarist Karl 'Pod' Woodward. ‘Of Gods And Men', due out on 28 October, is the first album from Lyndon to be released under his own name, the previous eight albums having come out under the ‘Songdog' identity. Over the course of the record’s 15 tracks, Lyndon continues his exploration of his favourite themes - the passing of time, lost love, sex, death, ageing and psychic overload. In addition to Karl Woodward, who provides the distinctive Mellotron sound that peppers the album - and also designed the cover art - Lyndon is joined on the album by several guest musicians, including Mathew Conner on drums, backing vocalist Colleen McCarthy and producer Alex Franklinos on bass. Previous albums as ‘Songdog’ include 2020’s ‘A Happy Ending, ‘Joy Street’, 'Last Orders at Harry's Bar’, ‘A Life Eroding’, ‘A Wretched Sinner's Song’, ‘The Time Of Summer Lightning’, ‘Haiku’ and ‘The Way Of The World’ and were released to great reviews from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, The Mirror, Maverick, RnR and Americana UK amongst others.
