DRINKS

“Hippo Lite” DRAG CITY

Out Now. DRINKS are CATE LE BON and TIM PRESLEY, with JOHN “JT” THOMAS on drums. Sez Presley: “In a town, so very still and quiet. A month in St. Hippolyte Du Fort, South France. We set up a recording unit in an old stone mill turned house and began to write and record with the attention of tree trimmers or gardeners. It got so hot we had to swim in a local river near by just to be able to think, then back to our home to make sounds and songs. Any sounds we could think of or wanted. We used night sounds, night insects and used frogs as instruments. Did you know frogs have saxophones in their throats? This is a broken music. a crumble. It’s the music of the building we called home for a month.”
