Dried Out

Back together with a core that remains the same, but stepping into new territory with a new purpose and energy, Vancouver’s Dried Out are embracing their garage rock roots with added elements of psychedelia, noise, and post-punk. 2018 and 2019 were departure years for Henry Peters (vocals & rhythm guitar) and Luke Basso (lead guitar), which saw them form side project Sleeepy Dog and release an EP in 2019. During that time they began collaborating with Juraj Pisko (drums) and Greg Enns (bass) with the intent of writing and recording a full-length album. As song writing progressed throughout 2019, it became clear that their new material was sounding undeniably like Dried Out and that it was time to reform the band under this new lineup. During the pandemic year music flourished, with Dried Out set to release their first new full-length LP since 2017’s “By Design”. With the working title “Pleasantly Dull”, the album's lyrics and tones are focused on themes of self-acceptance, maturation, and confronting regret. Recording begins May 1st at Phony! Records with Rain City Recorder's JJ Heath behind the helm. "Pleasantly Dull" is scheduled for release this September, coinciding with the return of live shows to this musically starved city.
