UH OH! Giant Drag are back after three long years of no baby-faced fucking, hearts, or unicorns.
Annie Hardy has an independently released Swan Song EP, which was played out in L.A’s Troubadour post imminent drop from Kickball/Interscope Records. Reunited with bass/drums Micah Calabrese, Drag emerge again with power chord grunge-pop, but seemingly with leanings to softer material on ‘Hearts and Unicorns’. ‘White Baby’ retains themes within ‘Pretty Little Neighbour’ – a sweet sexualized love song – her vocals in supreme adolescent form, reverb and saccharine melody.
Hardy seems to have put a lot of effort into marketing her gig, and maybe struggling balancing formal and creative exercise. They ask their Myspace audience to donate for the continuation of Giant Drag, coordinating ways to beat free downloading.
“If you don’t buy the record, just donate”
They’ve sidelined the material for survival. In new material, expect similar lyrical theme and genre style. It seems like Hardy and Calabrese are monopolizing on a successful model – we should just hope there’s tougher stuff in there.
They’re touring with The Charlatans in Californa-yay.
