Barking Dog "Barking Dog - Elements" 12"

Barking Dog’s Elements EP blends years of musical collaboration, friendship, and shared passions. The band features Jack Irons (drummer for Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers), Anthony LoGerfo (longtime drummer for Neil Young and Promise of The Real), and Micah Nelson(musician and founder of Particle Kid). Together, they share a love for rhythm, Neil Young, and dogs.

Their connection began in 2016 at Ohana Festival, where Jack and Anthony bonded over music and life. Anthony, best known for his work with Neil Young and Promise of the Real, is currently touring with Micah in Neil’s band Chrome Hearts. His "meditation grooves" formed the early rhythmic foundation for the project, which Jack built upon with experimental drums and percussion and Micah rounded out with his signature sonic layers.

After reconnecting in 2023, the band recorded the final tracks at Jack’s home studio, including the addition of a steel drum, a nod to Jack’s past work on Pearl Jam’s No Code and Yield. The tracks were mixed by Adam Hawkins, bringing together the elements of their collective sound.

The EP’s tracks, each named after natural elements, represent their sonic journey:

• Heat Of The Sun
• Broken Water
• Sprouted
• Stream of Consciousness
• Light of White Moon
• Clouds Over Shadows

The band name, Barking Dog, reflects their shared love for their dogs, Charms, Plato, and Tsuki, and the record is dedicated to them. Elements is a testament to the band’s deep friendship, musical exploration, and the connections that shape their sound.
