Baltimore funk quartet Pigeons Playing Ping Pong have just announced their forthcoming seventh studio album, Day in Time, to be released on April 26, 2024. The announcement follows the drop of the collection’s title track today before the Day in Time Winter Tour that kicks off this Friday, Feb. 2, in Stroudsburg, Pa., at the Sherman Theatre.

“Day In Time” encapsulates the band’s signature funk sound, offering an uplifting groove, commanding vocals and propulsive guitars. The title track also includes special guest, keyboardist Ben “Smiley” Silverstein, who smoothly incorporates himself into the band’s experimental rhythm. Throughout the song, Silverstein can be heard weaving in his silky keyboard lines before launching into an electrifying delivery.

“Day In Time” follows shortly after the release of the album single, “Alright Tonight” in Oct. 2023. “This album represents our most cohesive collection of songs to date,” explains guitarist Jeremy Schon. “All of the tracks on Day in Time truly represent our current writing style and where we are as a band today.”

Guitarist Greg Ormont adds, “This record is a snapshot of our band at this exact moment. It’s a reminder that life moves fast, so we better make each second count.”

After kicking off the Day In Time Winter Tour this weekend, the group will travel through the East Coast, playing 11 shows in February, followed by festival appearances. Notable dates include a night at Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., on Feb. 3 and two nights at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta on Feb. 23 and 24. After the tour culminates, the band is set to headline the Bonfire Music Festival in Yuba, Wis., on June 6 through 8 and the Northlands Music and Arts Festival in Swanzey, N.H., on June 14 and 15. 

Day in Time is available for pre-order.
