Summertime - and the music's - well, let's not say free and easy, since that may send the wrong message to the marketplace. How then, to describe with mere words the next-level new efforts that break ceilings of glass and walls of forth in their attempt to do that what's never been done and win that what's never been won? Yeah! That's what WE'VE got going on in July. What about you - going to see a man about a bridge? FINE. We'll go you... (read more)

As we approach the great white release date for Electric Brick Wall, Black Bananas fans everywhere are geeked and tweaked with the idea of a whole album that sounds like the slay-worthy advance single, "Physical Emotions."  Fuckin' dream on! It's not that nobody could realize an album like that - if anybody could, it would definitely be Jennifer and the band-anas - but they've got better things to do, like making Electric Brick Wall so high and mighty! If you're so into "Physical Emotions,"... (read more)

For you loyal readers out there in the e-aether (and, please God, listeners in the real world), you've already heard peep one 'bout this ultra-limited & damn-near hand-crafted platter that we very mysteriously call "Fool's Watch," b/w "Lord Gloves" (because mysteriously, those are the song titles). The basic spex: 2 SONG, 10", 45 RPM. Neil Michael Hagerty & The Howling Hex brought forth these two mini-epics from somewhere deep inside their hard-won collective identity; The Howling Hex with their trusty, rust-freeNew Border Sound...

Oceans, borders, guards, security check points, poison darts, voodoo - nothing can stop the foot soldiers of Drag City from breaking on through the Fourth Dimension with gifts and wisdom for the civilized people of this world we regard so curiously yet value! You can get these items here, by staying tuned into our ever-evolving (yet reassuringly basic) web presence; cool, cool - but nothing tops the essential rock n' roll - not to mention, human - experience, that of reaching out and fucking...

Mick Turner's double album from the end of last year really caused some rubbernecking! As well it should - because not only is Don't Tell The Driver a new conception in the music of Mick Turner (with regard to his own stuff as well as all the Dirty Three music he's contributed to over the years), but his latest album may very well be the first ever post-rock opera! Musically, it's the best thing he's ever done. And Mick did his time here in... (read more)

BORNE AGAIN

It’s May again for the 25th time in a world where there’s a Drag City roaming the earth. May once again – all of a sudden and yet surprising no one. So here we are and you are there; a place for everything and everyone in their place. We’ve gotten things done in “2014,” as always – but we’re still waiting, always waiting somehow. Waiting still for that day called tomorrow, and it never comes. Fool-like, we wait to see if... (read more)

Intense heat, a brew of nasty sonix crushed from a beer can, boiled and re-splashed into the face of n absurdly be-suited society - fuck seasons, Magik Markers melt it any old time of the year, come on! Still, where there's warmth there's fantasy, and Ambrogio, Nolan, and Shaw are full of both, coupling actinically with their deep-browed, dead-pan exteriors. Surrbendering to their trip is the best way for you to experience yours, and this summer, they're going to journey! The Midwest, Canada, and West... (read more)

While we all long to feel the warmth and sunshine imminently approaching, nothing can mask the realism that Neil Hamburger brings to his "classic" "comedy" routines or to the songs to which he has become increasingly devoted to singing in recenty years. Dark times call for dark records, and that's why like it or not, this summer is when we'll be releasing First of Dismay - what were we supposed to do, wait until Christmas to bum everyone out with this? For the Hamburger fans... (read more)

Dead Rider ripped up the roadways between Chicago and the East Coast just after the release of their blistered and festering new album, Chills On Glass, proving that you really can visit Dayton, Ohio, and manage to escape not only with all your fingers and toes, but actually sell a coupla rekkids while you're at it! Or perhaps it only works like that when you're providing as skin-peeling and terrifying of a sonic landscape as Dead Rider? Such a phenomenon got everyone thinking,... (read more)
