Dogs in space!

Remember that thing they used to call trip-hop?



Well, it was all the rage waaaaaaay back in the mid-90s... you'll just have to trust me on that one. What they'd do is they'd have a dude (or two) who lurked in the background surrounded by a whole bunch of boxes with knobs and lights on them that he would use to make funny noises, and then there would be a girl in the front that would sing. Novel concept, I know! Laika is sort of a lost remnant of this time, but unlike the Molokos and Morcheebas and Sneaker Pimpses, they are still active and together. But this one is from their debut album, Silver Apples of the Moon. It's all clattering drums and breathy vocals and assorted other atmospheric goodness...

Laika - Sugar Daddy
Laika - Silver Apples of the Moon



The band were named after the first dog in space, so... um... do, with that tidbit, what you will... and trip out to this!



Laika, come home!
