Train - Mad Dog in the Fog (2026)

The Mad Dog In The Fog LP by Train is being released on Columbia and marks a new studio chapter for the band; the album is set for release on August 28, 2026 and leads the group, with familiar melodic foundations, into a collection of songs shaped by evocative memories. With this release, Train are putting out a physical LP that brings together both the core of the band around Pat Monahan and Columbias work on the project, accompanying the album announcement with the first preview tracks. Musically, Mad Dog In The Fog picks up on the sunlit as well as introspective moments of earlier records and draws some of its phrasing from the singers personal relationship with the West Coast; the writing reflects San Francisco as a namesake and biographical source for individual songs. Among the lead singles introduced were The Weekend and Pennsylvania Turnpike, the former as an early teaser, the latter with an official video and accompanying promotion. These tracks highlight the side of the band that combines songcraft with narrative fragments. The LP version of Mad Dog In The Fog presents the complete sequence of new tracks and is stylistically aimed at listeners of indie rock and alternative; Columbia is responsible for production and distribution, positioning the record as a clearly defined label release within Trains discography.
