NEWS - Hamilton's Doctor Tongue drops "The Pickle" - a groove-soaked funk-rock fever dream inspired by daytime TV at its most unhinged

From the very first moment, the bass locks in with the drums and the whole thing just tilts sideways into a pocket so deep you forget you were standing. That's the thing about Doctor Tongue - they don't ease you in. They build a groove that feels like it's been running for hours and you just happened to walk into the room at the right time.

This is high-fidelity groove-driven rock, soul, funk the genre, lets just make music. Blues swamp licks in one guitar and soul so deep in the other you forget that this shouldn't be possible. When the solo sections arrive before and after the bridge, you forget where you are, and it's clear - you're where she is, caught between two distinct characters trying to unravel who she likes better. She can't make up her mind. She doesn't want to.

"The Pickle" is the fourth single from Fly, and it might be the most Doctor Tongue thing Doctor Tongue has ever done. The song tells a love triangle from three perspectives, each verse shifting the lens - all of it sparked by the absurdity of a Maury Povich "Who's the Father?" episode. It shouldn't work. It works completely.
