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.
