Passed Away, Vol. 1 is a digital compilation by Dr. Dog. The album, which was released March 4, 2008, is a collection of songs from a variety of times and places, found on old tapes and demos, that the band wished to release. The songs are more lo-fi than the latter releases of Dr. Dog, comparable to their early work. Dr. Dog's traditional style of frequent doo-wop melodies occur as well, which becomes a highly noticeable characteristic for the album. All of the songs have been streaming prior to their release, at the promotional website for their previous record, We All Belong.
