Slaughter Beach, Dog Announce New Album, Tour Dates

Slaughter Beach, Dog have readied their next album, Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling. The LP arrives in full September 22nd via Lame-O Records, and along with the news, the band have announced a new run of North American tour dates and shared the record’s first single, “Float Away.”

Since releasing 2020’s At the Moonbase, Slaughter Beach, Dog frontman Jake Ewald moved from his longtime home of Philadelphia to the Poconos Mountains. This move upstate inspired the artist to listen to folksy singer-songwriters like Neil Young, Randy Newman, and Tom Waits. You can hear their influence in “Float Away,” an upbeat ode to the Delaware River in which a content Ewald sings, “We’re never gonna make it back to New York now.”

After wrapping up a UK tour this summer, Slaughter Beach, Dog will support Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling with a North American tour that extends into the new year. Bonny Doon opens the front half of the trek, while Sun June provide support on the latter. See the band’s full list of shows below, then grab tickets via Ticketmaster.
