Slaughter Beach, Dog, the new project from Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball, will be touring this November with Abi Reimold. The band will be touring in support of their debut album, Welcome, out now on Lame-O Records. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
“There ain’t no purpose fightin’ holy wars for someone you’re not.” This sleek proverb is delivered in Jake Ewald’s unassuming sneer, but isn’t as honest as previous adages he’s known for behind one-half of Modern Baseball’s microphones. The residents of Slaughter Beach – a character study the Philadelphia musician flocks to during bouts of writer’s block – are grounded in some faith, whether in a higher power or lesser ones roaming this area’s varied terrain.
Many of the tracks on Welcome find people struggling to find answers, but Ewald answers to no one but himself. This debut LP was entirely self-produced, recorded and performed: an act of escapism and individual growth outside his tight-knit day job. Slaughter Beach, Dog finds Ewald wandering through multiple head spaces to emerge with his own inner sanctum confidently reinvigorated. And that’s welcome.
