Slaughter Beach, Dog - Welcome (Lame-O Records) 2016
8
Slaughter Beach, Dog, the new project from Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball is an introspective and emotive journey, and totally different from what you’re used to know of Ewald’s work on Modern Baseball. Welcome is moody and straight-forward, his lyrical approach is highly descriptive and well-constructed. An effort that needs some time to explore and dive into, not saying that it’s complex or anything, but it’s very detailed and urges comparisons with Pavement, Silver Jews or even Built For Spill, and that glistens out of every corner of this intelligent, finely crafted collection of lo-fi indie rock songs.
