Taking Meds have announced their new album Dial M For Meds, will drop on September 1st via Smartpunk Records. The LP was Produced/recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios (The Armed, Joyce Manor, NAILS).

Along with the news, Taking Meds have shared new single, “Outside.” The new track arrives alongside its fittingly tongue-in-cheek music video and follows previous single, “Memory Lane.”

Since forming in 2013, Taking Meds have often been a band that doesn’t neatly fit into any one category. Now on Dial M For Meds, the group have channeled all the inventiveness of their past work into the most direct and hook-driven songs they’ve ever written. The album manages to be instantly memorable and accessible while still having the teeth and eccentricity that longtime fans have come to expect from Taking Meds. Its ’90s-influenced sound makes for the perfect delivery system for vocalist/guitarist Skylar Sarkis’ lyrics which provide cynical, hilarious, and deeply human commentary on spending your adulthood chasing the often intangible high of creative pursuits.
