Bedford's Dog Race believe in the power of patience, having built a feverous word of mouth buzz for a series of mysterious, often last-minute DIY shows across London.

Following their acclaimed debut single 'Terror', produced by Jessica Winter, the rising alternative band continued their steady build of quality over quantity with the follow-up 'There's A Mouse In My House' and then the propulsive 'It's The Squeeze' this Spring, a song that opened further doors for them at BBC 6 Music.

Both of these singles were produced and mixed by the insightful Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Sorry, Portishead) and today the band share another in the form of 'The Leader', an icy, operatic fever dream that weaves dark cultish imagery and haunting baroque choral chants.

Evoking a sense of foreboding and mystique with its ethereal layers, the band combine gothy post-punk, brittle indie-pop and cold wave to create a spectral sound that is increasingly distinctive as one of their own. Continuing to work with producer Chant and joining forces with Fascination Street Records (Oslo Twins, Pem) has resulted in a new chapter, creating some of their darkest works to date.
