Philadelphia-based folk rock outfit, Slaughter Beach, Dog have returned today with a comforting new track “Strange Weather” via Lame-O Records. The new track has the nostalgia of an indie rock song from the 1970’s. Simple acoustic guitars are bathed over warm drum tones, and beautiful harmonies laced with wiggly lead guitar licks happen in just the right places. It feels like a song you heard long ago, maybe off in the distant background where you fell in love for the first time, or perhaps in a dream.
Lead singer Jake Ewald shared on the new track: “‘Strange Weather’ doing your very best to disappear from yourself. Hiromi Kawakami and Jason Molina live in here. I think Jia Tolentino, too. Trying to hold light in your hand. Certainly as a bad prank that unfolds across decades. Sometimes all I get is sha-la-la. Thanks to Erin Rae for lending us her amazing voice here – I remember listening to “Putting On Airs” in the van after a show some years ago and the whole tour melted away for a minute. An honor to finally share the mic with you, ER. If I saw the light, would I know?”
