The Early Middle Years is the second studio album by Tone Dogs, released in 1991 by Soleilmoon Recordings. In reviewing the album for Option, critic Mark Sullivan said, "The Tone Dogs play art-rock with a hard edge, their experimental streak appears in surreal lyrics, odd meters, unusual instrumentation (two basses and drums on some tracks), and eclecticism."[1]
