DOUBLE LINE

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Dragon Inn 3AEs debut LP clocks in at 28 minutes, but the band spent six years whittling away on the songs that would eventually become Double Line. Combining sugary pop hooks, hypnotic beats, and huge MOOG synths, Dragon Inn 3AEs playful take on ae80s pop could double as the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie (if John Hughes directed Blade Runner). Opening track aeWhat Kind Of World Are You Living InAE plays like Blondie if the band hired Hall and Oates to record guitars. The album takes an intimate turn with aeBad Boy,AE BowieAEs dreamy aeRocket Launcher,AE and BentleyAEs introspective cover of Robin GibbAEs aeJuliet.AE Then there are Italo-disco tinged tracks aeBackstabberAE and aeClub Sauce,AE with sing-songy pop hooks that harken back to Madonna and Whitney HoustonAEs greatest hits. With members spread out over the country (Kansas City, Los Angeles, and Springfield, MO), the group signed to American Laundromat Records in early 2018.'
