Goo Goo Dolls detail ‘Miracle Pill’

 Group’s 12th studio album available September 13th via Warner Records

Goo Goo Dolls have officially announced their highly anticipated 12th studio album, Miracle Pill, out September 13th via Warner Records. In an exclusive feature with SPIN, lead singer and guitarist John Rzeznik and bassist and vocalist Robby Takac shared the band’s cultural observations and experiences that shaped the momentous and timely record. Limited edition merch bundles are also available through the band’s online store. Each pre-order purchase unlocks a brand new instant grat track entitled “Money, Fame and Fortune,” the second offering from Miracle Pill.

“I wanted to do something bold and bright,” Rzeznick states about the record. “I wanted to sing about the need for human connection and the constant change we go through as people. This piece of work embodies those themes and I think we can all relate.”

Earlier this week, the band released their colorful new music video for the album’s first single “Miracle Pill.” Directed by Ed Gregory & Dan Cooper, the piece was hailed as a “vibrant pairing of lyrics and visual” by Billboard. “Miracle Pill” currently ranks as Hot AC Radio’s most added song.

With over 30 years together as a band, over 12 million albums sold, and 14 No. 1 and Top 10 hits at Hot AC, Miracle Pill finds Goo Goo Dolls at the top of their game. The entire collection of songs delivers musicianship that is as engaging as ever, emotion and intimate, relatable lyrics that reflect on the current landscape of instant gratification and relief that everyone seems to be seeking.

Goo Goo Dolls are currently in the midst of a massive co-headlining amphitheater tour alongside GRAMMY-winning band Train. The nationwide run will make numerous stops at outdoor venues across North America this summer before concluding on August 17th in Mansfield, MA at Xfinity Center. Goo Goo Dolls will then embark on several South American tour dates this fall, including a highly anticipated appearance at the iconic music festival Rock in Rio on September 29th in Rio de Janeiro.
