Fat Dog share new song "I am the King"

The news of WOOF. is out! Fat Dog’s debut album will be unleashed on September 6th via Domino.

Ahead of that, the London band release new song, the expansive epic “I am the King”. “It was written in the toilets of the Wetherspoons pub in Forest Hill,” says frontman Joe Love, thereby ensuring the pub will one day get a blue plaque. “It was after I got broken up with.” With an orchestral opening, it sounds like a cross between Vangelis and Underworld, and is a poignant song, possibly the world’s only poignant song to namecheck The Karate Kid Part II.

Directed by Dylan Coates and Travis Barton, the video for “I am the King” opens on a scene of the band mourning and weeping at the side of Joe’s grave and progresses to the King himself parachuting from the sky out of a helicopter. Classic Fat Dog.

Alongside the pep-talk-in-the-mirror of “I am the King”, Fat Dog have confirmed a string of instore shows in September to launch the album. Tickets on sale now from here.
