There are all sorts of hauntings going on here, at least that claustrophobic opening suggests as much. But Ellur (Yorkshire’s Ella McNamara) was just getting us to sit up straight in our seats for the real thrust of ‘Your Dog’ comes when things turn trad folk rock and we’re privy to the what’s what without embellishment. No mincing of words but a persona that is all the more alluring as a result. This is kicking the behind of a past romance and good riddance, what a torchsong it could be for anyone who has ever felt the cold hand of a toxic relationship. Tunesome stuff despite the tough reality in the narrative.KH
