Broken Dog were formed by Martine Roberts and Clive Painter in London in the summer of 1994 and disbanded in 2004 following their fifth album Harmonia.[1][2] Influenced by American artists such as the Grifters, Swell, Pavement, Smog, Will Oldham and Guided By Voices, their name comes from an unpublished Paul Verlaine libretto.[3] They were signed to Big Cat (UK) Records in 1995 and released their self-titled debut album[4] in 1996 when John Peel began playing their recordings and invited them to record the first of four Peel sessions.[5]

Both Martine Roberts and Clive Painter have been known for collaborating with other bands such as Tram, Monograph and The Real Tuesday Weld.

gollark: I mean, I do have an old smartphone which got replaced with an upgraded one by someone else just sitting around too.
gollark: I would get one if I had more money to arbitrarily spend on dubiously useful mobile telephony products.
gollark: Still, at least you can buy pinephones, even if the tradeoffs aren't great.
gollark: The entire mobile market is fairly bee but I think much of this was an inevitable consequence of mass-marketization and vendors' desire for control.
