The Dears‘ fifth album, Degeneration Street (Dangerbird), is out February 15, and it was produced by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Belle And Sebastian). The LP’s first single, “Omega Dog,” is available now via the band’s website, and the Dears are playing the new album in its entirety tonight and tomorrow at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. In May, the band did a three-day residency in Mexico City to debut new material. Watch the live video for “Omega Dog” below, and read our 2008 Q&A with frontman Murray Lightburn.
