South London five-piece Fat Dog have announced their debut album, WOLF., and shared a new song from it, “Running,” via a music video. They have also announced some fall North American tour dates. WOLF. is due out September 6 via Domino. Check out “Running” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as the tour dates.

Joe Love fronts Fat Dog and the band also features Chris Hughes (keyboards/synths), Ben Harris (bass), Johnny Hutchinson (drums) and Morgan Wallace (keyboards/saxophone). Love produced the album with James Ford and Jimmy Robertson. Influences mentioned in the press release include: Bicep, I.R.O.K, Kamasi Washington, and the Russian experimental EDM group Little Big. WOLF. includes the band’s previously released first two singles, “King of the Slugs” and “All the Same.”

“A lot of music at the moment is very cerebral and people won’t dance to it,” says Hughes. “Our music is the polar opposite of thinking music.”

2. Closer to God
3. Wither
4. Clowns
5. King of the Slugs
