Slaughter Beach, Dog – Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling LP Sale

Slaughter Beach, Dog s new album Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling finds Jacob Ewald hitting his songwriting stride. A decade into steadily releasing records through Slaughter Beach, Dog and Modern Baseball, Ewald spent hundreds of hours over the past few years to listen purposefully, diving deep into the worlds of Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Neil Young and many other classic guys that he hadn t spent ample time with. Ewald also spent a similar amount of hours meticulously assembling a band fit for these new songs, and I am very happy to report that he found what he was looking for.

The result is Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling – a timeless record, and Slaughter Beach, Dog s finest – self produced and capturing Ewald and the band at the height of their powers. Ewald s eye for detail is on display, Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling is filled with gorgeous imagery and vivid worlds are built within each song. Out on longtime label home Lame-O Records, this album will bring longtime Ewald fans, his newfound TikTok audience, and more discerning adult contemporary listeners deeper into the world of Slaughter Beach, Dog.
