Dr. Dog earned a lot of positive attention earlier in the year with the release of “We All Belong,” an album of eclectic and approachable psychedelic rock. “Heart It Races” isn’t an original number — the song was originally recorded by former tour-mates Architecture in Helsinki — but with its curling guitar figures, bopping keyboards and infectious backing vocals, it ably captures the Philadelphia fivesome’s sunny, pastoral charm.
