We’re joined by the band Wow, Ok, Cool this month on the podcast. They just released a new album that you can check out at the link below or buy on tape in the store (or from the at a show or at that link).

A new Mountain Movers record comes out next month, October 2nd, 2026 on our in-house label, Redscroll Records! Knifethrowers features the song, “Killing Frost,” which we are premiering an edit of with a video – check it out:
Since debuting in 2009, Connecticut psych band MOUNTAIN MOVERS have delivered a lengthy discography floating through rich textures and experimental sounds. Today, the group announce their upcoming instrumental album, Knifethrowers, set for release on October 2nd through Redscroll Records. On the record, the band build from the sounds of 2024’s double album Walking After Dark, while trading in vocals for synths, keys, percussion, and drum machines. Self-recorded and mastered by John Miller, Knifethrowers sprawls five tracks with a run time of nearly 42 minutes. The songs came together as free jams and were recorded live to a Tascam 488 with no overdub. The album captures a journey through time and the changing of the seasons, reaching its destination in closing track “The Blue Fort.”
Single “KILLING FROST,” out now, hits on that first freeze of the year when we brace for the cold. Deep bass and electric guitar build a slow groove before making contact with synth-driven signals, sounding nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. The accompanying video captures the feeling of the song through a trippy, nature-inspired visual.
Dagwood has been a band for a whiiiiile! They’re hitting their stride right now! Fact!
We talk to (left to right in pictures) Grady, Tim, Mike, and Killian. We wax on about Wallingford and make an unexpected announcement we did not plan on doing, but hell, why not!? We talk about the fun and zany shows Dagwood played early on including opening for Alkaline Trio at Toad’s Place very early on! We talk about music we’re listening to and we go off on different tangents here and there. Check it out!
