Photographers the world over have the ability to take crisp, clear digital photos, and yet many still gravitate to the look and feel of vintage film. It’s faded, grainy, full of the orange glare of light leak, far from the perfect way to capture a subject; but therein lies the charm. Something about those flaws, the dust, the scratches, that warm glow, just gives pictures an otherworldly shimmer. Photos like that feel like a window into a memory, as the nostalgia filter in our brain warps our recollection of the past in much the same way. The tender lo-fi arrangement of ‘Cover Up Contest’ is a prime example of that same principle in music. Dog Door, a collaboration between Jamie Cameron of Belwood favourites The Last Dinosaur and Oakland, California based creative Oliver Girdler, draw from the lighter side of bands like Sparklehorse and Talk Talk to imbue their debut single with that same wistful shimmer. ‘Cover Up Contest’ is a grainy vignette of a long forgotten summer, full of the same warm uncanny glow we afford all cherished memories.
