Philly indie rockers Dr. Dog have just completed their new album, entitled Shame, Shame.

It promises to be full of sunny melodies and tight-knit guitars, building on the band’s already impressive body of work. Set to be released on April 6, Shame, Shame ought to be a nice little dose of good vibes just in time for Spring.

To help wet your Dog whistle, the band has made the first single, “Stranger” (MP3) available as a free download.

Dr. Dog will also be touring extensively throughout April and May. A San Diego stop is conspicuously — and, dare we say, shamefully — absent, but we’ll just assume they’ll add that date later. Tour dates are after the jump.
