Philadelphia-based  indie/psychadelic group Dr. Dog announced today that they will release four new tracks online for free throughout the month of September. The first song was released today on the band’s Facebook page. More after the jump.In addition to the digital format being released by the band online, the four new songs will also be available on a gatefold double seven-inch vinyl to be sold exclusively at venues on the upcoming fall tour, dates of which can be found below.

These four new songs were inspired by songwriter/guitarist Scott McMicken’s involvement and experience with Weathervane Music (weathervanemusic.org), a non-profit that creates community, opportunity and resources for independent musicians. Dr. Dog recorded and mixed the four new songs in eight days.
