Office Dog Unveil New Album 'Prime Corner' + Announce Aotearoa NZ Release Tour

"Future's catching up on you today" intones Kane Strang in 'Futures', from Office Dog's eagerly awaited new second album Prime Corner, words which may ring discomfortingly true to Tāmaki Makaurau's musical community in light of this week's upheavals. On the ascendant since 2023's debut Spiel boosted them onto the world stage, the Aotearoa trio of Strang, Rassani Tolovaa, Mitchell Innes have already been busy this year playing packed out shows at home and halfway around the world. Prime Corner leaves zero doubt this trajectory will be maintained, masterfully interweaving post-rock / math-rock dynamism and precision, love for sonic side avenues, and absolute willingness to deliver heavy fuzz-crunch (when appropriate) with Strang's literary-leaning, sometimes pitiless lyricism.

Both bracingly adventurous and one of the most assured local long players of 2026, look forward to our in-depth Track By Track look at Prime Corner next week and join the Office Dog gang on their just-announced Aotearoa release tour. Show love for your local record store by grabbing a vinyl LP copy (via Flying Nun Records) and support your local venue heroes at Double Whammy in Tāmaki, Ōtepoti's The Crown, Lyttelton Coffee Company, plus GREAT SOUNDS GREAT festival in the capital this September...
