Combining sugary pop hooks, hypnotic beats, and huge MOOG synths, Dragon Inn 3?s playful take on 80s pop could double as the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie (if John Hughes directed Blade Runner).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cinematic origins of Dragon Inn 3 can be traced back to 2012, when Philip Dickey (leader of the indie-pop group Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin) wrote a theme song for the award-winning short film Ghoul School. ?If you watch the trailer you can tell it?s the same premise and look as Stranger Things we just accidentally made it three years before them,? Dickey says. ?I had so much fun making the soundtrack with the director (E.P. Marcus) that we decided to start a band.?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDickey recruited his sister, Sharon Bowie, an occupational therapist, and his wife, children?s librarian Grace Bentley, to help with songwriting and vocal duties. The group self-released the Ghoul School Soundtrack EP in late 2012, receiving high praise from Consequence of Sound, Philadelphia?s WXPN, and The Riverfront Times, before climbing to #1 on Bandcamp?s cassette charts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen it was back to the studio (i.e. the bedrooms, kitchens, garages, and hotel rooms that doubled as makeshift recording studios). In between full-time jobs, parenthood, graduate school classes, and cross country moves, the members of Dragon Inn 3 put Double Line to tape. ?I?m a stay-at-home dad now, so I would work on song arrangements and rough mixes when our toddler was taking his naps,? explains Dickey. ?Grace would come home from work and record all her parts after his bedtime. We recorded all the breathy vocals in the living room and all the yelly parts in the garage so we wouldn?t wake him up.?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a highly addictive album that creates ?a soundtrack for the more introspective moments on and off the dance floor,? according to critic David Greenwald. Opening track ?What Kind Of World Are You Living In? plays like Blondie if the band hired Hall and Oates to record guitars. The album takes an intimate turn with ?Bad Boy,? Bowie?s dreamy ?Rocket Launcher,? and Bentley?s introspective cover of Robin Gibb?s ?Juliet.? ?3 Minute Mile? swoons with arpeggios and a hypnotic MOOG bass, while Bentley softly repeats the phrase ?desperation\/bad desire.? Then there are Italo-disco tinged tracks ?Backstabber? and ?Club Sauce,? with sing-songy pop hooks that harken back to Madonna and Whitney Houston?s greatest hits. ?Double Line Theme? and ?Murder In The Third? show off DI3?s soundtrack aspirations, and sound like lost Tangerine Dream and Giorgio Moroder B-sides. ?Up In The Business? provides indelible synth hooks and a triumphant ending to Double Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith members spread out over the country (Kansas City, Los Angeles, and Springfield, MO), the group signed to American Laundromat Records in early 2018. A demo of ?Bad Boy? (co-written with Free Energy?s Paul Sprangers) landed in a commercial for Ryan Adams? Beats 1 Radio show before the song was even completed. If that?s any indication, Double Line?s culmination of six years of work is coming soon to a screen near you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDouble Line  (LP)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Kind of World Are You Living in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bad Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 3 Minute Mile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Juliet (Robin Gibb Cover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Double Line Theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Backstabber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Club Sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rocket Launcher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Murder in the Third\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Up in the Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"American Laundromat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420647792975,"sku":"616011914238","price":3.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/3808846.jpg?v=1775627033","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/dragon-inn-3-double-line","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
