Acclaimed indie rock band Dr. Dog have released details for their newest studio album, Critical Equation which is set to drop on April 27^th via Thirty Tigers Records. This is the first release from the band since their 2016 album The Psychedelic Swamp and the group has also shared the first single from Critical Equation, “Listening In”. The track features a rollicking drum and bass rhhtyhm and a stellar vocal performance from frontman Scott McMicken. The production is direct and in your face, channeling old school garage rock in its jangly guitars and vintage organ sounds.

Dr. Dog has also announced a series of tour dates this spring that will see the group wind its way through North America for the first time in over two years.

You can listen to “Listening In” in the player below.
