Midnight City [LP]

Drakulas - Midnight City [LP]

Austin’s creepiest bad boys are back! After a few years of wandering in the wilderness Drakulas return to their spiritual home at Dirtnap Records (and Wild Honey Records in Europe/UK!) to unleash Midnight City upon the world! Drakulas move in the shadows of a neoned late‑’70s city—proto‑punk bite garage grit ’80s synth ghosts and new‑wave chill wrapped in world-building nocturnal lyrics. Conceived as an art experiment by Savage Lord Mic Sam Francisco (Riverboat Gamblers) and Pink Rick (Rise Against) and filled out with a rotating cast of sketchy characters Drakulas quickly shed their daylight skins—black turtlenecks medallions VHS flicker—and became emissaries of a cinematic underworld where drugs arcade lights pornography and occult whispers score the streets. Their 3rd LP Midnight City turns up the musical quirk factor a bit with fully-realized inter-connected songs that are at the same time unsettling and yet weirdly danceable. Marvel as they emerge from the fog with a new full‑length on Dirtnap/Wild Honey—listen if you dare. 1. Going Going Gone Gone 2. Singin’ With My Tongue Cut Out 3. Head In The Clouds 4. Is It Enough 5.
