DRAGON INN 3 RELEASES NEW EP FULL DISCLOSURE
Dragon Inn 3, the electronic pop project led by former Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin co-founder Philip Dickey, releases its new EP Full Disclosure today. The special limited-edition cassette release arrives in celebration of Cassette Store Week 2025 and is also available digitally.
The eight-track EP features four brand-new songs alongside four previously released digital singles, blending the band’s signature mix of dreamy synth-pop, sparkling power pop, and timeless melodic hooks.

The first four songs on Full Disclosure - “Send Your Love,” “Never Lost,” “Yer Too Good,” and “Taking It Back” - were written over the course of three decades, reflecting the band’s evolving creative life. Grace Bentley began “Never Lost” as a teenager in 2002, while Philip Dickey started “Send Your Love” in 2015 and found inspiration to finish it after watching True Romance for the first time last year. “Yer Too Good” and “Taking It Back” were co-written by Dickey and his sister and bandmate Sharon Hamm earlier this year.
“We could not have made these songs without some of our new and old friends,” says Dickey. “Ryan Wasoba, who I played shows with in the early 2000s, helped us record guitars on ‘Never Lost.’ Our new friends Nick Wilkerson on drums, Brandon Yangmi as recording engineer, and Scoops Dardaris on mixing helped us out on everything else.”
The last four songs on the EP, “Clock Machine,” “All I Know,” “Be On My Side,” and the band’s radiant cover of Fountains of Wayne’s “Sink To The Bottom,” collect Dragon Inn 3’s digital singles released over the past few years, gathered together here for the first time.

Recorded between Springfield, Kansas City, and Los Angeles, Full Disclosure captures the band’s most immediate and organic sound to date. After years of crafting lush, synth-heavy arrangements, Dragon Inn 3 embraced a more direct, live approach focused on drums, guitars, and melody.
“We wanted to make a power pop record with tight arranging, catchy melodies, and good vibes,” says Dickey. “Our first albums took forever to dial in because of all the synths and overdubs. This time we got back to the basics of recording live instruments and chasing what feels fun.”
Formed in 2012 when Dickey wrote music for a short film called Ghoul School, Dragon Inn 3 has built a reputation for crafting melodic indie pop that mixes charm, humor, and heart. Their releases include Double Line (2018), Trade Secrets (2023), and It’s Christmas (2023), all on American Laundromat Records.
With Full Disclosure, Dragon Inn 3 channels their love for 80s synth-pop and 90s college radio while nodding to timeless influences like The Beatles, Big Star, and Depeche Mode. The result is a record that feels both familiar and fresh, filled with energy and reflection.
“We are super lucky and grateful to work with American Laundromat Records, Bank Robber Music, and SRG studios,” Dickey adds. “They have been helping us release music for the last seven years. Special thanks to Lonny Unitus for the cassette design and layouts.”
Full Disclosure is available today on cassette and digital formats.
