About Full Disclosure:
The first four songs on Full Disclosure were written over the course of three decades. Grace started writing "Never Lost" as a teenager in 2002. I started working on "Send Your Love" in 2015 but couldn't figure out how to finish it until I saw the movie True Romance for the first time last year. Sharon and I collaborated on "Taking It Back" and "Yer Too Good" this year. We couldn't have made these songs without some of our new and old friends. Ryan Wasoba, who I played shows with in the early 2000s, helped us record some guitars on "Never Lost." And our new friends Nick Wilkerson (drums), Brandon Yangmi (recording engineer), and Scoops Dardaris (mixing) helped us out on everything else.
The last four songs on the EP are a collection of singles we released digitally over the past few years and collected here for the first time.
We're super lucky and grateful to work with American Laundromat Records, Bank Robber Music, and SRG Studios. They've been helping us release music for the last seven years. Special thanks to Lonny Unitus for the cassette design and layouts. -Phil (Dragon Inn 3)
Review from The Big Takeover (Fall 2025 Issue)
Ye Olde Inn’s real life dragons, including Phil Dickey from under-the-radar Polyvinyl faves Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin with wife and sister, singer Grace Bentley and synthplayer Sharon Hamm, seem like fun. While every big town has guitar bands—you’d never know it from all the handwringing about popular music ghosting the genre nowadays—some people sure make a highly pleasant indie variety, disdaining grungy effects and rockist narcissism. On this eight-songer (four new/four older digital singles), “Yer Too Good” has some jump ’n’ jangle (with a Cure single bounce) right outta Slumberland and Skep Wax rosters; there’s Hamm’s two feints at ’80s bubble machine electro disco, “Taking it Back” and “All I Know”; and the standout “Never Lost” contains multitudes in its stabbing pointiness—given shadings from oldline New Zealand Flying Nun bands of the (Reagan/Thatcher/Bob Hawke/) David Lange era. Full disclosure: someone still loves you, indie pop purveyors! -Jack Rabid (Big Takeover)
