"The Ark" sails in on Fate, the fifth album from Philadelphia indie rockers Dr. Dog, released in July 2008. The band recorded it themselves and mixed it with Bill Moriarty, and the album around it finds them working fresh studio touches into the indie rock sound they had already built.
Fate is proud of its look, too: the cover is a painting by Chicago's Ken Ellis, outlines sewn on, modeled on a picture of Bonnie and Clyde. The band spotted it at the Rainbo Club, where Ellis tended bar, snapped it up and decided it suited the mood of the record.
