Fat Dog have unleashed their second album, Cancel Me (I’m Tired), on the world, featuring latest single 'Heart of Darkness'.
Frontman, songwriter and crowd-traffic-controller Joe Love was determined that Cancel Me (I’m Tired) would be a little less intense than its predecessor. As a result, this is an album that has more of a dynamic ebb and flow to it compared to WOOF.’s all-or-nothing-but-mainly-all onslaught. With its whirling future-folk, ‘Heart of Darkness‘, shared today, is one such track that showcases the band’s softer side. That doesn’t mean the band have gotten that earnest though. As Love contemplates complications in a relationship, he realises “I’ll be watching Shrek 5 by my ones.”

After releasing their debut album WOOF. in 2024 and becoming one of the UK’s most exciting breakthrough bands in the process, South London seven-piece Fat Dog have a good reason to be tired. They’ve spent the period since WOOF.’s release spreading their raucous, infectious and irresistible bark around the world. The reason that they want you to cancel them is that they’ve been around the world and they’re tired.
With Cancel Me (I’m Tired), Fat Dog have created an exhilarating, swaggering, panoramic, inventive, re-inventive, re-re-inventive electro-punk-art-pop-rock’n’roll-space-country triumph that deserves all the adjectives. Over ten mind-bending and melodic tracks, it blends electro-pop anthems, cascading rave bangers, bombastic strings, cowboy-tinged pitstops and swirling psychedelia.
