About
The once sleepy side project named Drug Cabin is (at once) a band and a family of sorts that has endured the vagaries of a fickle music business and life itself. Following a self-titled e.p. in 2012, Nathan Thelen (Pretty Girls Make Graves, Moonrats) and Marcus Congleton (Ambulance Ltd) combined to write 22 new songs. With the talented support of Brandon "Eugene" Owens on bass, Sheridan Reily on drums, and Frankie Palmer on pedal steel, the songs were recorded to analog 8-track at Gaucho Electronics in Downtown Los Angeles. Engineered by F. Bermudez , produced and mixed by Nick DeWitt (Pretty Girls Make Graves, Liars) the result is 2 albums , Yard Work and Wiggle Room. Together both records contain a vast collection of harmonious sweeping deep groove folk-ish indie pop with deceptively addictive hooks. The shape shifting tone of the compositions can feel very much like 70's garden rock imagined by Brian Wilson as it feels so down to earth yet so dreamy.
