PoB-049
June 28, 2019

Mega Bog is the fluid musical moniker of songwriter Erin Elizabeth Birgy, who has spent the last ten years channeling, capturing, and releasing her unique bouquet of fragrant, sci-fi pop experiments with a handful of bicoastal collaborators. She is joined on her fifth and finest album (and first for PoB) by members of Big Thief, Hand Habits, and iji, who help her spin a manic web of emotions into beautiful, abstract future poems and thrilling genre perversions.

RIYL: Laurie Anderson, Slapp Happy, Kevin Ayers, Bridget St John, Beefheart, Bowie, Cate Le Bon, Ursula K. Le Guin

Prismatic avant-pop that balances warbling melodies with unexpected bursts of frenetic energy. 'Diary of a Rose' is a lush representation of Birgy's ability to evoke warmth and nostalgia while keeping her gaze to the future. – NPR Music

It joins Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising and Big Thief's UFOF as one of 2019's left field pop gems, a record created with no detectable consciousness of a wider scene but with a bedroom-wide sense of possibility. Birgy's songs are tangles, unconcerned with hooks, verses, choruses, while floating melodic ideas are addictive precisely because they don't repeat but play themselves out then disappear. Part prog, part easy listening, warm and engulfing... a shimmering chiaroscuro [of] fully fledged delicious pop. Dolphine pulls off the trick of making the small scale feel all-encompassing. – The Wire

8/10. Sonic fantasia from a poetic mind… a whimsical and devastating cosmic journey through loss and healing. It’s part folk-rock fantasy, part avant-pop mind trip, and all gorgeous. With lush sonic layers that are alternately raw and delicate, Dolphine translates as a series of dream worlds where the confessional meets the fantastical, and lost ones live forever. – Uncut

"The weirding way got weirder," Erin Birgy sings, sounding like Nico at her spookiest, a lovely summation of her beguilingly crooked guitar playing. Fans of Cate Le Bon, look sharp. – The Guardian

Somewhere between the mystical landscapes of prog rock and the familiar breeze of easy-listening radio... It sounds something like the 'energize' effect on Star Trek as transposed for a jazz band ... the music is vast and refined, hinting at chaos but never quite losing control. The band is equally adept at sweeping you away and pulling you in. – Pitchfork

A lounge track for the lobby of a passenger ship floating through space, Mega Bog’s 'Truth in the Wild' toys with the earthly and the cosmic. Frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Erin Birgy guides listeners on a mystical adventure." – Cool Hunting

Absurdly good. She blurs the lines between the surreal and the profound in a way that she seems able to do like none other... "Diary of a Rose" is a stunning introduction to the new record, a jazzy/breezy gem with vaguely sinister undertones, teeming with Birgy’s unforgettably peculiar and vivid lyrical phrasing and the kind of deceptively labyrinthine melodies and slithering guitar lines that made the band’s last LP Happy Together such a compelling, unsung masterpiece and one of the best records of the last half-decade. – Gorilla vs. Bear

Starts off mossy and inviting, but then builds to an impressive tempest of wailing guitars. Spectral, at times suave and smooth, and baroque. She's not quite like anybody else. – Brooklyn Vegan

I’m forever dumbfounded by the raw intimacy and alien sophistication of Erin’s work. It’s dream music of the highest order. – Jessica Pratt

The whole experience is a pristinely surreal excursion. – Paste Magazine

Imagine an adventure game quest with Yoko Ono as your guide, or Laurie Anderson doing her best David Attenborough impression: a deep, joyful abstraction that draws to a pure, human conclusion. – Pitchfork

Somewhere not real 

You’re so far away from me 
This way it doesn’t get to my head 
Now you’re cold, it used to bother me 
Now the cold is my comfort instead 

So where are you now 

And the strange thing about your heart
It’s not constant, it’s back to the start 
All the way you used to feel
Impaled along the line, somewhere not real 

Somewhere not real 

Ahahahah, 
You’re somewhere unreal 
Ahahahah, 
You’re somewhere unreal 

Somewhere not real
