The Ukiah Drag’s In The Reaper’s Quarters Coming

STREAM THE UKIAH DRAG’S DEBUT ALBUM IN FULL
‘IN THE REAPER’S QUARTERS’ VIA PITCHFORK ADVANCE HERE
OUT NEXT WEEK ON WHARF CAT RECORDS

NYC RECORD RELEASE SHOW AT ST. VITUS W/ CRAZY SPIRIT AND UNIFORM ON SEPTEMBER 11!

This week you can stream The Ukiah Drag’s haunting new album ‘In The Reaper’s Quarters’ in full via Pitchfork Advance. Their debut, full length LP was recorded in a secularized Lutheran temple off the banks of the Hudson River in upstate New York and serves as a fine projection of basement rumination as The Drag chew up tired rock and post punk – moving it onto new spiritual drippings. ‘In The Reaper’s Quarters’ is recommended if you like The Fall, Jody Reynolds, Link Wray, The Stooges, The Damned or anything of the sort and drops next week on Wharf Cat Records.

The Ukiah Drag celebrate their record release with a show at St. Vitus on September 11th – Crazy Spirit, Uniform, Survival and Nick Klein are playing too.

The Ukiah Drag are Floridians in New England exile – personnel stem from the Tampa scene – recording and sharing bands with members of Merchandise like Cult Ritual and have previously run with the Ascetic House/Destruction Unit pack, with whom they put out their debut tape and toured with respectively. Most recently, The Drag released their first studio output, Dirt Trip 7″ and reissued their Jazz Mama is Cryin’ 12″ (both via Wharf Cat). Moving along – In The Reaper’s Quarters offers pulsating organs that strobe their way through flattening riffs and creep beats; occasionally joined by a sex-crazed baby grand slinking sinfully into the reaper’s pit. This is a widow-making full length that marks and culminates every player’s previous efforts to a blunt and remorseless T.
