Don't Look at Me the Way a Dog Might Look at Your Leg

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by ex-Sprain members Alex Kent and Sylvie Simmons, experimental rock outfit Shearling pivots toward harrowing acoustic territory on their EP 'Don't Look at Me the Way a Dog Might Look at Your Leg'. Released via Mishap, the five-track collection wrangles avant-folk and slowcore structures into a dense, electroacoustic framework. The record relies on hazy, glitch-infused textures and stream of consciousness talk-singing, constructing a deeply disturbing concept album that grapples with trauma, religious alienation, and profound self-hatred. It stands as a lush yet pessimistic listen, enveloping its sombre foundations in an ominous, noisy dread.
