Following the announcement of Mayo Thompson's Quiet Days in Cliché and the first preview track, "K-Pook", Drag City is happy to share a second advance single with a visualizer - "Bagga 1, Lagga 1".
While it may have been recorded on Mayo's smartphone, "Bagga 1, Lagga 1" is more than simply a "note to self" - to our ear, it is a prime example of Mayo's unique approach to essaying the guitar. The track charges in headfirst, Bagga evoking train songs, and Lagga squeezing sentiment out of every strum.
Arriving 56 years after Mayo's first solo album, Quiet Days In Cliché is a collection of eleven distinct acoustic guitar pieces that we are delighted to share with you. LP and digital formats are out on December 4, 2026.
