New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Dr. Dog's 'Critical Equation' - "a roiling caldron of psychedelia" (NY Times) that "pops and darts with the energy of a brand new band" (American Songwriter) - has debuted in the Top 5 on 4 different Billboard charts, including #1 Vinyl, #4 Independent Albums, #5 Folk / Americana, and #7 Alternative.
Produced by Gus Seyffert (Bedouine, Michael Kiwanuka), 'Critical Equation' is the most infectious and adventurous collection Dr. Dog has laid to tape yet, recorded during an intense and transformative period during which the band questioned their creative process and emerged with what is "arguably Dr. Dog's best work" (WXPN).

Dr. Dog is currently on their first tour in two years, which includes a three-night run at Brooklyn Steel -- full dates below. Next week they'll be featured on Adult Swim's 'Fishcenter Live.'
