We’re glad to see that Modern Baseball co-songwriter Jake Ewald, who records and performs under the moniker Slaughter Beach, Dog, is continuing to stay productive during MoBo’s hiatus. He just premiered a new track, called "Gold and Green," over at Stereogum. It’s the lead single off his forthcoming album, Birdie, due out October 27 via Lame-O Records. You’ll be able to hear more of the folk/country influence sliding into his latest collection of tunes on Thursday, August 17 at Johnny Brenda’s, with support from fellow Lame-O labelmate Shannen Moser, whom he will also be heading out on tour with in November.
