Dig My Mood is an album by the British singer-songwriter Nick Lowe.[7] Produced by Lowe and Neil Brockbank, it was released in the UK in 1998 by Demon Records and elsewhere by Upstart Records.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that Lowe's songs "are quietly ambitious, exploring new territory lyrically and musically, without leaving his signature style".[2] No Depression wrote that Dig My Mood "resonates with a relaxed, after-hours vibe".[8] The A.V. Club called the album "evidence that the flame that drives Lowe hasn't so much dimmed as intensified into a deeper blue".[9] The Hartford Courant wrote that "the studio musicians are almost irrelevant on this release, given the strength of Lowe's vocals and the magnetic attraction of his songs".[10]
