We’d been aware of Dog in the Snow for a little while, but it wasn’t until we caught them at the Green Door Store at their Two Three Four mini-festival in August that we really sat up and paid attention. There was something about the performance, and Helen Ganya Brown’s voice, and the music which as much art as it was rock, that set them apart from the other bands we caught. A few weeks later we were presented with sparse avant garde pop of Fire in the Sky, haunting and beautiful and our third pick for our Advent Calendar.
