Dressed Like Wolves is a United Kingdom lo-fi indie and folk project centred on Thornaby musician Rick Dobbing and his Spooker Recs friends. The music is described as fuzzy and Casiotone-laden, with chord organ rock’n’roll songs alongside quieter, sad material.
Recording and releases
The album In the end we all just walk off into the sea in the eyes of the ones we left behind is the group’s third full-length release. It is recorded in the attic of Rick Dobbing’s farmhouse and in a few pubs around Middlesbrough, using cassette tapes, a reel-to-reel machine and an old IBM PC.
The release appears on compact disc, Bandcamp and Spotify.
Style and reception
The project’s sound sits in off-centre lo-fi indie and folk, moving between delicate and fuzzier textures. Rick Dobbing’s fragile vocals are a central feature, and the lyrics are noted for being funny, heartbreaking and free of clichés.
Descriptions of the music also emphasise its handmade folk-pop quality and its mixture of beauty, humour and fragility.
