Dragon Inn 3 Pays Homage To '80s & '90s Clichés In 'Backstabber' Video
"Musically, "Backstabber" captures the spiritual bounce and pop of the 1981 classic "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League. The video itself is an homage to everything we loved about John Hughes' movies, MTV videos and Miami Vice." - WXPN World Cafe / NPR Music
Directed by Josh Pfaff and the team at Locke and Stache, "Backstabber" won "Best Music Video" at the NFFTY Festival in Seattle. It is screening at Render Vancouver International Music Video Festival and was also accepted as an official selection for the Austin Music Video Festival.
Led by Philip Dickey (leader of the indie-pop group Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin), Dragon Inn 3 released its full length debut Double Line on American Laundromat Records this summer.
Buzz for Double Line:
"Wonderfully sharp songwriting and tasteful studio craft." - All Music (4 stars)
"80's style neon-lit future pop with big, sugary warm analog synths and a sugared edge" - Bandcamp "New & Notable Release"
"Satisfy your need for saccharine party riffs, steeped in synths." - Grimy Goods
"Dangerously charming and stealing the entire show. The quartet is bringing back sounds that have been missing from pop." - AXS
Double Line is available on CD, LP and Cassette here.
We were honored to release their sophomore release "Whatever, My Love" 21 years after the trio’s "Become What You Are" debuted on Atlantic Records. With their new album, The Juliana Hatfield Three has in a sense responded to its former directive to "become what you are" by making an album that is exactly what it wants to be, identifiable in its acceptance--and celebration--of the eternally unknowable and unsolvable. We still have a handful of copies available on vinyl here.
Dragon Inn 3 premiered a playful new video today for the track Bad Boy which has been trending on Spotify the past two weeks. Check it out below and be sure to order their fantastic debut album "Double Line" here.
Juliana returns with Weird, a new self-produced album of all-originals fast on the heels of her critically-acclaimed "Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John." Weird features 11 brand new songs and drops January 18, 2019. Stream the first single from the album below.
In addition to the 11 new tracks on the album, there are 2 additional new songs on a label-exclusive bonus 7”. Special bundles, vinyl colors, test pressings, and signed copies are available here.
Freda Love Smith (Blake Babies, Sunshine Boys) and Todd Philips (Lemonheads, The Juliana Hatfield Three) each played drums on multiple songs while Hatfield played all of the other instruments (and some additional drums).
Today our friends at PopMatters premiered The Safes fantastic "Universal Heartbeat" video from their upcoming 2-song, 7" red vinyl tribute "A Tribute to Juliana Hatfield". Check it out below and be sure to order the 7" here.
We're excited to release The Safes 2-song, 7” tribute to Juliana Hatfield. The Safes tracked this single with the one and only Steve Albini, and asked their friends Ted Ansani and Mike Zelenko of Material Issue to be the rhythm section. Exclusive pressing on red vinyl. Only 500 copies exist.
“I'm so tickled by The Safes' joyful, lovable versions of my two songs! I think they really captured the essence of what the songs were and still are trying to say which is that there is always hope to be had.” – Juliana Hatfield

Over the past year we’ve been setting aside LP’s with bent corners, creases, and other minor jacket blemishes due to mishandling by UPS, USPS, and FedEx. In most cases the albums are still shrink-wrapped, meaning the vinyl inside is in pristine condition. Some have no jackets at all, while others really took a beating during transit from our pressing plant.
If you’re a fastidious collector whose LP collection must be in mint condition this is probably not the sale for you. However, if you’re looking to find some excellent gems at great prices, this vinyl garage sale is definitely for you.
Some gems include copies of Tanya Donelly’s Swan Song Series (1 copy available), our Elliott Smith tribute, Hey Babe Wild Card Color LP's (4 available), and much more. Please note we only have limited copies of each title so if you’re interested please hurry... we suspect these will go quickly.
