December 21st, and what a relief! All the buildup to the Sun's alignment with the center of our galaxy, directly blocking the Milky Way's energy pull on our dear planet, seemed to come and go without perforating the ozone or otherwise obstructing production down here, within the mile-deep, steel-enforced bunker of Drag City HMFQ. How's the air up there, surfacelings? Fouled? Throat-burning? Infused with flood-water? Well don't worry - we're still here, and we can only hope that you are too - because even though... (read more)

EYE THE ENSEMBLE PEARL
posted December 20th, 2012
If the world doesn't end this year, it's sure to th' next annum around - if only because of the apocalyptic plans of yer pals 'n gals here at DC Centric. Like, for instance, check it out - come March, the light of day will be ready to shine upon the debut recordings made by Ensemble Pearl, which will surely bring the rain and the wind and the breaking of tectonic plates all over, under and around the planet too.

Buh...whuh? Hey, wait a...calendar...Christmas! If you're like us, it's time to start shopping for holidayz, gang!

DRAG CITY LIMITS PRESENTS: BLUES CONTROL
posted December 14th, 2012
December may be nature's way of telling us, 'soon we'll freeze,' but fear not - Blues Control continue to bring the heat and the light to you throughout the winter! "Fresh" off a tour with Six Organs of Admittance to close out the year of our Mayan calendar, 2012, the do-oh are set to hit the road again over on the other side - 2013 (yes, it is happening)- supporting their socks-knocked-offering Valley Tangents album through January, February and March across these ol' United States...

BATHING IN WATER ON MARS WITH PURLING HISS
posted December 12th, 2012
It takes balls to let Purling Hiss get in your face- their records are a half-corroded, screaming roar of high-end guitars crushed together, obliterating vocals and drums with their singular assault. Well, if you've got balls, get ready to swing 'em! With Water On Mars, Purling Hiss have broken out of the basement, run through the bedroom and are now loose, out in the streets, blasting one of the great guitar albums in the past couple minutes. Yes, Water On Mars, from the... (read more)

THE BEST OF THE HOWLING HEX
posted December 6th, 2012
No, it's not just a clever name and it ain't know compilation, either. Is it the best, new Howling Hex record ever? Depends on how closely you've been listening along the way! Rest assured, it's absolutely the place holder in which, after all the incantations of the band to date, The Howling Hex stands thus far, at this moment: a border sound that bubbled in the southernmost regions of New Mexico for years before recently re-situating to the thin atmospheres of Denver, Colorado. Undeniably, Howling... (read more)
YOU NEED TO KNOW CHRIS DARROW
posted December 4th, 2012
Rock history from the 60's is filled with side trips and familiar names mixed with more trips involving even more names, sometimes less known. One of those names still owed a piece of your mind is California picker, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Chris Darrow. A founding member of the west coast Kaleidoscope, he pursued a solo endeavor after the release of their second album, A Beacon From Mars. A part of the glassy wave crashing across America through the 60s, Chris was hearing the... (read more)
