tuneage : everyone deserves good music

Giant Drag - This Isn’t It

This is a track from Giant Drag’s debut — and only, to date — 2005 album, Hearts and Unicorns. The undeniably pleasant album name is offset by their somewhat obnoxious track titles — “Kevin is Gay”, “You Fuck Like My Dad”, “My Dick Sux” — but the music can’t be faulted. (They also did an excellent cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game”, which I put on the Muxtape.)

Giant Drag used to be a two-piece, until Micah Calabrese, who played drum and synth (simultaneously!), left in 2006. In 2007, Giant Drag as it now exists — with just Annie Hardy — was dropped from their label. Hardy has said she plans to continue making an album on her own, and it’s due sometime this Spring.
