Songdog are really all about the songs. Dark, literate songs sung from the prison-cell of the heart (from where you can sometimes see just as far as from the top of any mountain). Lyndon & Karl are from Blackwood, Wales, Dave from Dundee, Scotland. They self-released their debut album 'The Way Of The World', followed by 'Haiku' (originally released through Evangeline). Songdog signed to One Little Indian in 2005, releasing the critically-acclaimed 'The Time Of Summer Lightning' (2005) & 'A Wretched Sinner's Song' (2008). They are currently working on a new album, due early 2010.

Songdog combine acoustic and electronic instruments to create soundscapes for singer/songwriter (and former award-winning playwright) Lyndon Morgans's vignettes on life, love and loss. Their albums 'The Time Of Summer Lightning' and 'A Wretched Sinner's Song' received great press, and plays on Jonathan Ross's BBC Radio 2 show and John Kennedy's XFM show amongst others. They've had 4 tracks on Uncut Magazine covermount CDs over the last couple of years (including their cover of Dylan's 'Desolation Row' which was commissioned for the Uncut 100th birthday issue).

Fans include Bruce Springsteen, who used their track 'Days of Armageddon' (from 'Haiku') for "walk in music" on his European tour and personally requested a copy of the last album. Live dates include shows at the Roundhouse Studio, Bush Hall, Union Chapel, ICA and Spitz, supporting Joan As Police Woman at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, appearances at the Analog Festival, Dublin, Wireless, Guilfest, TDK Cross Central and Secret Garden festivals and supporting the Go-Betweens on their last UK tour. They have also appeared at international festivals in Canada, Spain, Sweden, Holland and Russia.
