Giant Drag Are Back

Giant Drag’s album Hearts And Unicorns came out in 2005 and was packed full of cracking tunes that spanned influences from Mazzy Star to MBV and from grunge to a kind of warped suburban Americana. It was a standout from the year, but no one expected to wait six years for a follow-up.

In fact, until today, I’d kind of assumed they had called it a day and just faded from view.

Not so. Annie Hardy from the band has just made this available via Soundcloud, where she wrote the following:

“Meowch is your appetizer (no, you don’t get dessert FIRST) to nibble on while Giant Drag’s long, LONG awaited album “Waking Up Is Hard To Do” is getting prepped for a late fall release on Roar Scratch Records/Cobraside. I’ve dotted my i’s and crossed my t’s and at last we have a late fall release with an actual set-in-stone release date coming way soon. This song is the first coming your way free to freak you out because you have no idea what this record is going to sound like…the answer? A lot of things. Enjoy, and don’t be scared. “

Welcome back Giant Drag!
