The Dagons – Upon the Dull Earth
October 1st, 2011
Hailing and wailing from sunny and smoggy Los Angeles, California, Karie Jacobson and Drew Kowalski–a musical duo known as The Dagons–ditch the brightly lit warm weather and head straight for a Louisiana swamp at midnight on their fifth full-length effort, Upon the Dull Earth. Brandishing fuzz guitar, a sitar brighter than a glass of Sprite, rock steady drums and reverb-bathed vocal melodies–all tethered together with a seriously booming bottom end–they comb, I mean combine sea shanties, ’60s psych and ’80s fence post-punk with an ease not seen since La-Z Boy debuted the recliner to the delight of armchair pirates everywhere. And where have I seen that cover wench before? Oh yeah, she modeled for the Starbucks logo!
