All Dogs / Saintseneca / Yowler

Some people have all the luck. It is difficult to have and maintain one decent band no less three outstanding ones.

Today I give you the three Columbus, OH musical projects of Maryn Jones: All Dogs, Saintseneca, and Yowler. All had released in 2015 that somehow escaped me but I am making up for that all here and now.

All Dogs is solid, fuzzy indie rock that falls into the world shared by Eric's Trip, Bully, Dilly Dally, Doe, and Waxahatchee.




Saintseneca is Zac Little's band that also includes Maryn as a member. The blueprint is pop music with an distinctly American folk music foundation. The band however constructs a lofty, loud, and philosophically rich record that falls somewhere between The Acorn and early Arcade Fire. Smart and interesting stuff to say the least.






And last but not least, Yowler haunts the way early Cat Power does. It is intimate, stark, and highlights just how beautiful her voice is. I believe Julie Doiron from Eric's Trip may also be her spiritual guide as their delicate and aching voices are so strikingly similar.
