All of Yard WorkDrug Cabin
Drug Cabin is a Los Angeles duo formed by Nathan Thelen (previously of Pretty Girls Make Graves and Moonrats) and Marcus Congleton (previously of Ambulance Ltd.). The project makes laid-back indie pop with a strong Southern California feel, drawing on 1970s soft rock touchstones like Steely Dan and Gerry Rafferty. The songs are melodic and unhurried, leaning into warmth and retro atmosphere without feeling insincere about it.
