Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball back with a 4th LP from the Slaughter Beach, Dog moniker RIYL: The Weakerthans, David Bazan, Craig Finn, Modern Baseball At the Moonbase, the fourth full-length album from Slaughter Beach, Dog, is a return to form for Philadelphia bandleader Jake Ewald.

Written and recorded alone at home and at The Metal Shop, Ewald's East Kensington recording studio, the album tracks an exercise in solitary production not unlike Slaughter Beach, Dog's 2016 debut Welcome or 2017's Motorcycle.JPG.

On the heels of 2019's Safe and Also No Fear, Ewald's latest offering brings expanded arrangements and sharpened storytelling as he taps into salad days over slacker rock ("Do You Understand"), the dark grooves of seedy city life ("Song for Oscars"), and even a barroom-piano-driven "escapade through the great American bedroom" ("A Modern Lay").
