Indie-Funk Band Year of Dogs Release their Second Single ‘Jade’ Out today!
Hot off the success of their debut release, Cape Town-based indie-funk-pop band Year of Dogs are back again with their next single ‘Jade’.
Recorded and produced by HoneyMoan‘s Josh Berry, the track is a tongue-in-cheek tale of a Tinder-love not meant to be – a honeypie of pure easy-listening and catchy melodies, wrapped in a classic indie-pop sound.
The song brings together the classic hallmarks of the genre and marries them with tense choruses of introspection in a manner so perfectly perplexing, the storyteller could only dream of.
‘Jade’ is the latest in a line of songs set to be released by the group throughout the year, with their first single ‘Sweet Red’ earning the band a flurry of editorial playlists, press features, and radio interviews on platforms like Texx and the City, SA Music News Magazine, The South African, and Cape Talk, among others.

Described by popular music blog Texx and the City as their “latest obsession”, Year of Dogs is a four-piece band made up by long-time friends, Nic van Graan (vocals), Themba Bosch (guitar), and brothers Alex Birns (drums) and Dillon Birns (bass).
Their sound draws influences from the likes of Tame Impala, Tom Misch, Mac Demarco, Parcels and various French house disco groups such as Paradis and French Kiwi Juice (FKJ).
‘Jade’ will be available to stream on all platforms including Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music from today – 26 February 2021.
