4.0 out of 5 stars Giant Drag Channels Throwing Muses, September 17, 2007

Annie Hardy, Giant Drag's brains and brawn, grew up in the '80s on the opposite coast during the best years of alt-rock's creative and intelligent Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly's Throwing Muses recordings and tours. So two decades later how does Hardy so effectively recreate some of the best of the East Coast's (Rhode Island at that!) Throwing Muses' harmonies, lyrics, ironies, humor, and sound?

I'm not a music critic; I simply listen to music and have been for decades. I saw, and with every audience was mesmerized by, the Throwing Muses and Belly and Kristin Hersh and used to smile as my then three-year-old son, now 21, sang along in his car seat to Hunkpapa's "Devils' Roof" with the mistaken lyric "I have two dads" instead of "I have two heads."

Repeated playings of Annie Hardy's "Hearts and Unicorns" bring all that and more back to me. Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly would be proud of Hardy as will you if you give "Hearts and Unicorns" a chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Giant Drag's debut is amazing, August 7, 2007

There's just something unique about Annie Hardy's vocals. :)

Too bad there's only the "Lemona" EP and the "Hearts & Unicorns" album released so far. Hopefully another Giant Drag release is not too far off in the future.

This particular review is for the March 2006 re-release of Giant Drag's 2005 debut album "Hearts & Unicorns". It was released in the UK in 2006 with an extra track, a cool cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". Now the band's label has issued the album again in the U.S, now including the "Wicked Game" cover song. No more need to pay for an expensive UK import.
