Product Overview
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—protopunk bite, garage grit, ’80s synth ghosts and newwave 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 fulllength on Dirtnap (America) and Wild Honey (Rest of the World)...listen if you dare.
