Adultery was released in 2006 through Rotten Records, as their 6th studio album (5th, if you don't include the extremely limited release of Erotic Massage and their live album, The City is Alive Tonight). Baltimore’s Dog Fashion Disco call it “Movie Metal” and have not only outdone themselves, but have created a concept record to fold, spindle, and mutilate all of the aural senses. Adultery delves into the life of an ordinary suburban family man and walks you through his folding to his own dark demons. Lock Quentin Tarantino, Charles Bukowski and Humphrey Bogart in a room with guitars, drums and a few bottles of Absinthe and what you would find closely resembles the genius of Adultery.
Dog Fashion Disco released a statement on their myspace on the 5th Of December 2006, stating that they were calling the end of their run. Their "final" show was played on January 13, 2007, although since then they have "reunited" on multiple occasions for Polkadot Cadaver shows to play some songs.
Todd Smith, Jasan Stepp and John Ensminger of Dog Fashion Disco moved onto their project Polkadot Cadaver, and have released one album and have another one in the works thus far. The style of Polkadot Cadaver is similar to DFD in many ways.
In 2014, DFD decided that being broken up was dumb, and started an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a new album. The fans ponied up in a big way, and the band raised just over $85,000. With that amount of money being raised, DFD are able to record 2 albums, make a big budget video, and do a small tour of the U.K., for the first time in a long while. The new album, Sweet Nothings, is being released July 22nd, 2014 via Rotten Records.
Their latest album is 'Experiments in Embryos', released July 7th, 2018, through RazorToWrist is available through the Apple music, Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes.
100 Suicides
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under a palm tree
Sucking from a bamboo straw
Patiently waiting for me
all night and everyday
I'm in a galaxy far far away
Reborn unable to die
reincarnation
Inside an asteroid field
Alien skies raining stars
Sever the lifeline to me
all night and everyday
I'm in a galaxy far far away
Reborn unable to die
I've committed 100 suicides
Inside this violent paradise
Go waste the day they own you
Lights camera action rolling
As the homicidal crowds begins to kill
abort mission head on collision
As we swan dive into holy water
I remember when
I was crawling in your skin
Bathing in your blood
And everything you are
Take me to the time
We walked the long way home
Through a forest full of wolves
Where lovers come to die
What a day to die
all night and everyday
I'm in a galaxy far far away
Reborn unable to die
I've committed 100 suicides
Inside this violent paradise
Go waste the day they own you
Lights camera action rolling
As the homicidal crowds begins to kill
abort mission head on collision
As we swan dive into holy water
The song "100 Suicides" by Dog Fashion Disco is a complex and introspective piece that explores themes of love, death, and rebirth. The lyrics reveal a sense of detachment and longing as the singer describes being separated from their loved one and waiting for them in the afterlife under a palm tree. The references to sucking from a bamboo straw and being in a galaxy far, far away suggest a dream-like state, as if the singer is caught in a limbo between life and death. The repeated refrain of committing 100 suicides speaks to a desire for transformation and freedom from the constraints of mortality.
The song shifts between ethereal and violent imagery, as the singer describes being reincarnated inside an asteroid field and walking through a forest full of wolves with their lover. There is a sense of danger in the air, as the homicidal crowd begins to kill and the singer invokes an "abort mission head on collision" before diving into holy water. The lyrics suggest a struggle between the desire for escape and the instinct for survival, as the singer grapples with the realities of life and death. The song ends with a call to action, urging the listener to go "waste the day they own you" and break free from the constraints of society.

I still like the Album version, but I actually prefer this version with the horns.
Enki
Fucking awesome!!
DeadBunnyYakuza
Absolutely excellent video BTW

Säger detsamma. De är/var rejält underskattade i de här breddgraderna. Polkadot Cadaver är riktigt härliga, men inte i närheten av "Adultery"'s briljans
