Dragging an Ox Through Water

It's a silly band name, but I like their music a lot. Dragging an Ox Through Water is a Portland band with a silly name. Okay no. They have a lot more than that. They've played shows with Kind of Like Spitting. That's enough for me to give them a chance. It sounds a bit like a folkier, less freaked out Xiu Xiu or a mellower Devendra Banhart. They were on the PDX Pop Now compilation in 2005 and they made a 3" CDEP that sold out on their record label Schapendoes Records. I dunno how to pronounce that. Anyway, lucky for you and me, they put mp3s of the EP online, for free! Nice nice. Download them, enjoy them, and look forward to a new 7", Rebukes! that is being released on Smells Delicious record label. I like the cover art though.

Here's a song off that 7". A really good song.

Guess what? they have MySpace!
