A Giant Dog announce tour, share “Get With You and Get High” from Pile

Today, A Giant Dog premiered “Get With You and Get High,” the second single from their Merge debut  Pile  which will be out on May 6. The song is described by the band as an “abstract party monster ballad” and features guest vocals by Spoon’s Britt Daniel. The song’s three-part harmonies and drone-y heroin sound showcase a different side of the band that brought us the infectious energy of “Sex & Drugs.”Listen to and share “Get With You and Get High” now on Consequence of Sound, and check out A Giant Dog’s spring tour dates along with their appearances at next week’s SXSW music festival.Pre-order Pile now on CD and LP in the Merge store, or digitally via iTunes where the first two singles are available as immediate downloads. The first 150 pre-orders of the LP will include a free slipmat designed by the band!

“This is one delicious little masterpiece, from the overdrive-drenched bass that kicks things off to the giddy two-pronged vocal belting.” —PopMatters, Singles Going Steady

“The song is [a] dense mix of springy guitar strums, bright vaudeville-esque piano, and shimmer galore balanced by rumbling drums and bass.” —Stereogum
