Description
Patrick Mulroy (guitar, vocals), Zach Meyer (mandolin, vocals), Michael Harmon (bass, vocals), Tom Farrell (resonator guitar), and Alex Barstow (fiddle) have worn the chrome off their frets doing it the hard way. They’ve honed their skill as songwriters and musicians–and deepened their bond as musical brothers–through prior releases Animal (EP, 2015), Stardust Lodge (2018), Gasoline (2020), Something Sour, Something Sweet (2021) and the live record Ain’t Hungover Yet (2022) exploring the boundaries of Americana while showcasing the group's core as a roots string band.
Grain Thief has spent the past few years playing shows, festivals, and folk conferences around the country. They have welcomed new family members, bid farewell to others, maintained daily grinds, ground daily coffee, rehearsed and run a weekly residency gig together, and still always find the time to keep pushing forward. “It’s been really cool to watch a few more years of growth of the band” says Harmon. “To us at the end of the day, we’re just a couple normal dudes tryin’ to get together and play tunes. That other folks seem to enjoy what we’re doing is an absolute cherry on top.”
Written in various truck cabs, country cabins both rustic and bougie, and a few psychedelic weekend writing sessions, the bulk of House of the Dog was tracked at Harmon’s studio, Wachusett Recording in Princeton, MA. “We have made records there throughout the years, so it feels like a good home base in which to hunker down and focus,” explains Mulroy. “Mike was working at a nonprofit called Avaloch Farm in Boscawen, NH last year, and we thought it could be cool to record an instrumental track live in their big barn: “Tapawingo.” We opened the barn to the outside while recording to get a cooler vibe going, and there was a tractor cutting hay across the field while we recorded. Listen hard and you might be able to hear it.” The record was co-produced by Brad Bensko, who specializes in analog recording and production.
