Before there was Dog Orchestra, the electronic dream-pop collective, there was Dog Orchestra.
With mutual interests in everything from indie rock to dance to hip hop, they joined a few pop bands, which ultimately imploded. Says Niklas, “It wasn’t until me and Daniel moved in together that I felt the music began to sound as good as it should.” The two alternated between laying down the musical groundwork and writing lyrics, a practice they continue today. “It was effortless,” Daniel continues. “We were inseparable after that, and I remember my sister telling me that my dad thought we were a couple.”
Dog Orchestra started recording guest vocals for their EP in Stockholm, before relocating to Berlin. “It’s less restricted than Stockholm, where everything is clean and at a right angle—even the crooked ones are calculated,” says Daniel. Berlin’s grittier culture represented possibility. “It’s a city in shambles being rebuilt. The opportunities felt less policed. Like the whole city needs a good paint job, and no one is looking over your shoulder telling you how to paint it.” Their experience followed in kind.
