Long Player: Office Dog - Prime Corner

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +1200

Elle spoke to Kane Strang of Office Dog about the release of their third album Prime Corner. Born out of an “existential crisis” the album explores the complexities of identity during transient periods of life.

Building on the sonic footprints of Speil and Doggerland, Prime Corner delves into the extremities of their sound, from the instrumental Everywhere Song and more raucous Front Row Seat. Exploring feelings of stagnation, instability and the mundanity, the album rises and falls in dynamics mirroring the organic cycle of life.

It's also just really fun.

Thanks to NZ On Air.
