the ukiah drag - Austin Town Hall

Twisted Tune from the Ukiah Drag

August 27, 2014 nathan.lankford

Every blue moon, or perhaps more often, I just want to find this huge expansive piece of music to get lost inside. This nearly 8 minute track from The Ukiah Drag is just the piece for me, with sprawling movements of rolling guitar riffs melding with these semi-preached vocals. It’s amazing how one just gets tossed up into their dark mess, then finds themselves tumbling all the way out. Getting lost inside the realm of this band is sure to happen quite frequently for those who choose to pick up their newest release, In the Reaper’s Quarters, via Wharf Cat on September 9th. Come on, just check the art work…something wicked this way comes.

New Music from Ukiah Drag

July 15, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The last time we heard from the Ukiah Drag, the band had this devilish storytelling aspect to their songwriting. This time around, as the band readies their new album, they hold onto that demonic presence, though there’s more emphasis in the volume. It’s like a fuck all of psych and post rock, blended into this mixture of entrancing western-sludge. Their new record, In The Reapers Quarters will be released September 9th via Wharf Cat Records. From the sounds of this, it’s going to be something quite different than your average fare.
