A John Hughes palette, a heavy subject. London duo Dog Radio have released Southpaw, a new synth-pop single out since 12 November 2026 on Common Knowledge.
Dog Radio are two friends, Alex and Daniel. They produced the track themselves, and The Line of Best Fit describes it as inspired by the sound of the 1980s and by the experimental grooves of Dijon.
Behind the bright synths sits a serious theme. “‘Southpaw’ is about the cyclical nature of generational trauma, and how you go about breaking that,” Alex told The Line of Best Fit.
The single runs just under four minutes and follows the duo’s earlier release The Last Of Our Kind. The cover keeps things stark: a black-and-white portrait, head bowed, half of the face lost in shadow.
