Goo Goo Dolls have shared a third new track – “The Pin” – from their forthcoming album “Boxes”, due out May 6 via Warner Bros. Records.
“The Pin” follows the release of the official single “So Alive,” which was the #1 most added song at Hot AC and is already charting since impact less than two weeks ago. The single premiered via People Magazine, who described it as “A sunny, poppy departure from the alt-rockers’ oft-moody canon [that] builds over a breezy piano melody and upbeat drum line.”
Boxes is a vibrant, sonically forward-looking album that manages to retain what their legions of fans love about the Goo Goo Dolls – indelible melodies, intimate, heartfelt lyrics, and the anthemic, uplifting vibe of their songs – while pushing new boundaries in terms of sound and production. Singer and guitarist John Rzeznik enlisted some of his favorite songwriters and producers to collaborate with, including Gregg Wattenberg (with whom Rzeznik wrote four songs on the Goos’ 2013 album Magnetic), Wattenberg’s production partner Derek Fuhrmann, and Drew Pearson (who has worked with Phillip Phillips and OneRepublic).
Goo Goo Dolls – which also features bassist Robby Takac – will hit the road for an extensive summer headlining tour of amphitheaters and arenas. Also on the bill as direct support are Collective Soul and Tribe Society. The tour kicks off in Portland, OR, on July 8th and crisscrosses North America through September 16th.
