The Ukiah Drag just released a seven-inch single on Wharf Cat Records. “Dirt Trip,” backed by a Coasters cover, is a haunting, evil, backwoods ballad. It is a devil's swan song, coaxing the listener to dig their own grave. You are slowly drawn in by it, hypnotized, as it hangs heavily over you; you can almost feel its weight bearing down. This is real deal Everglades redneck freak shit. This is the type of music that you would make if you poked out the eye of an alligator with a PVC pipe when you were a child, and then your outlaw biker father came outside and killed it with a .30-30 Winchester rifle. This record is scary. “Got your shovel. Found your hole. Say a prayer. And dig.” This is The Ukiah Drag at their best thus far, and likely just a hint of what is to come.
