RIDIN' HOT AND PUTTIN' UP DEAD

posted February 22nd, 2022

Oozin' and bloozin' from their very core, Dead Rider's experimental turns measure on a 1:1 ratio with rock solid energies of metalloid funk, various punks and roots, all boiled down into a single-dose transmission. And that's just in a lab prototype (aka studio recorded jam)! In live environs, Dead Rider critically redial their formula, setting controls for available local performance levels and pinning the meters as they spew forth with skronky guitar sludge, synthetic squelches and drum clinics in riddim pulsations: calculated to scorch and...

SEAPERWOLVES LIVE!

posted February 21st, 2022

Wolves of ALL streets, take over! Superwolves would like to have words with you - sung words, expressions of emotion and elation. Will Oldham's unbound voice, soaring atop the sublime frequencies of Matt Sweeney's guitar licks and harmonies.

Captured at the Castro: "My Home is the Sea", is tried and true and now entirely new again! This live performance was snagged during the final leg of the Superwolves' 2021 West Coast tour at the legendary venue in San Francisco. Director Sai Selvarajan's camera floats... (read more)

AS ALWAYS, BAD TIMING

posted February 18th, 2022

Maybe you've heard by now - Jim O'Rourke's got bad timing. For many of you, though, this news will be good timing - for BAD TIMING!
Why is it that American composers always end up at least once in their careers writing a quintessentially American composition? God only knows, but Bad Timing has gone down in the O’Rourke discography as that composition. And a god-damned one-of-a-kind classic of that genre, and other ones too! Known as an exceptional improvisational and experimental wunderkind for most of... (read more)

"BE GOING" TO BITCHIN BAJAS SHOWS

posted February 16th, 2022

The imminent threat of WWXIII! Climate catastrophes! A never-ending revolving door of openings and shutdowns, oy! What the world ONLY needs now is Bajas, sweet hypnotic Bajas. Sweet, spiritual Bajas! Appearing as if on cue from the depths of the universe and bearing the cosmos' burnished riches, Bitchin Bajas aim to inundate all who see them with analog-syntesthetic tones, immersive drones and kaleido-tonal soundscapes (plus a few rhythmic chords for good measure). Good luck and good fortune come to those who push the... (read more)

MESS ESQUE IN THE U.S.A.!

posted February 8th, 2022

Mess Esque, the Australian duo of Mick Turner and Helen Franzmann, got off to a fast start in 2021 with two quietly electrifying albums: Dream #12 and their self-titled debut on Drag City. Their music, part composition, part conversation and all restless travelogue, joins together two winding paths to find something that didn’t appear to be there in the beginning. Much like the homecrafted visions that comprise their songs, Mess Esque passionately willed themselves into verdant, lustrous being. And now, the world!

With only a few... (read more)

MATCHESS' SONESCENT FUTURE PERFECT

posted February 7th, 2022

 

Matchess (aka Whitney Johnson) travels fluently between outer and inner space, on a perpetual search for the unseen world that exists behind the world that we see everyday. The evolutions of her music over six seeking releases between 2013 and 2020 have brought her to Sonescent, an album that transcends her previously established medium of psychedelic pop music - finding beyond those songs and sounds an new kind of expression, one where the whole album exists inside the meditation itself,...

IN THE FUTURE, YOU WILL FLY LIKE A WHIRLYBIRD

posted January 24th, 2022

Drag City grandly presents Whirlybird (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (DC847), featuring all-new music by Ty Segall, created for Matt Yoka's compelling new documentary.

Released to great acclaim in Summer 2021, Whirlybird tells the story of Zoey Tur and Marika Gerrard, former partners and founders of the Los Angeles News Service, deftly tracking their extraordinary and often-reckless pursuit of breaking news throughout the 80s and 90s – a time in which they pioneered the use of a helicopter to report on...

MATCHESS MELTS THROUGH THE WALL

posted January 18th, 2022

With the new album SonescentMatchess takes a giant step off the wings of the psychedelic songcraft she's flown over the past decade, melting into pure psychoacoustic space with her new songs, where she and they float and mingle with all the other sounds we hear in our body; sounds that flow, the thoughts of sounds and the natural pulsing in our ears as they strain to hear more.



Sonescent 
further departs from previous Matchess recordings, where Whitney Johnson performed and sang all... (read more)

GETTING PHYSICAL WITH A BLIND DATE

posted January 13th, 2022


Imagine infinite moments of time: songs from history, made by many fond, familiar names, then played and sung in other times by other very noteworthy individuals and slowly released into a whole new timeline, promoted exclusively on the internet with videos, works of art and guest-star cameos. Stop! You don't have to imagine anymore - now, you can have this living musical almanac in your very own home. Blind Date Party is NOW AVAILABLE on vinyl, compact disc and cassette formats....
