Here's what Big Stir has to say about it:

Big Stir Records’ 40th Digital single release (out Friday, August 23 and available for pre-order now at www.bigstirrecords.com/big-stir-digital-singles) comes from Illinois-based lo-fi mastermind DOLPH CHANEY. Dolph’s roots in the Big Stir massive trace back to the ’90s when Chaney and BSR…

On August 23rd 2019, Dolph is proud to present the IT'S OK single, as a summertime pre-taste of the REBUILDING PERMIT album to follow in the fall.  Making this extra special, the release is part of the Big Stir Digital Singles series from venerable Burbank melodic-rock / power-pop institution Big Stir Records (helmed by Rex Broome and Christina Bulbenko, a.k.a. the core of The Armoires).

The single includes two of Dolph's best and brightest…

1. Juliana Hatfield, PUSSYCAT
- In 2017, where an up-to-the-minute protest album was needed more than ever, how many of us guessed it would come from Juliana Hatfield?

Makes me wanna go fuck shit up.

4. The War On Drugs, A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
