draag me, the sample-based experimental project from Spirit of the Beehive’s Zack Schwarz and Corey Wichlin, has released their second album, lord of the shithouse. The project features Body Meat, CRASHprez, Pedazo De Carne Con Ojo and Devin McKnight. The album materialized during the pandemic. Schwartz and Wichlin, both stuck at home, sent emails to each other with ideas for songs. And over the course of a year, file sharing turned into fully realized tracks. Songs left on the cutting room floor of Spirit’s landmark record Entertainment, Death, got rejiggered, made stranger, and put into the draag me universe along the way. But make no mistake — draag me isn’t a Spirit of the Beehive side project. It is a project that exists in a swirl of its own. The songs on this record are far more knotty, circling the drain of psychedelic pop, industrial music, r&b, and electronic. lord of the shithouse is a record free of genre, and in its penchant for experimentation, there is a real sense of clarity.
