Behold, the Massachusetts rock triple threat we need to trudge through January: Good Dogs Wear Capes, a three-way split record featuring Cape Crush, Good June, and Impossible Dog. Releases from the forthcoming collaboration will be sprinkled throughout the month, starting with the steady power-emo jam “Apple at the Aggy,” which welcomes Good June vocalist and guitarist Alex Ilyadis to Cape Crush’s camp.
As Ilyadis exchanges lines with Cape Crush’s Ali Lipman, the pair forge a vocally delicate duet that’s charged by bursts of arena-ready guitars. Spoiler alert: The next release to hit streaming services, “Better In the Morning,” flips the arrangement, tapping Lipman for a track led by Good June. The full project — which will also see Cape Crush working with Impossible Dog for a tune called “Katie on the Radio” — arrives January 24.
