Description

Twelve years in the making, a new record by Portland’s idiosyncratic master of ultra modern folk music Dragging An Ox Through Water. Old school electronic oscillations and blips meet solid guitar playing and singing. The lyrics alone are worth the price of admission. Nothing obvious is ever said and every word gleans with layers of meaning. Dragging An Ox Through Water is Brian Mumfords’ cult long running art music project. Beloved in Portland. Willfully underground. The real stuff. A modern masterpiece.
