Though Drug Cabin is a band still in its infant stages, its members are not new to the indie music game. Led by Nathan Thelen (Pretty Girls Make Graves, Moonrats) and Marcus Congleton (Ambulance LTD), the hazy, dreamy folk/pop created by the duo is perfect for its debut self-titled EP’s June 19 release. The record came into fruition in the summer of 2010 with the help of Thelen’s former PGMG bandmate Nick DeWitt (Liars). With DeWitt wearing the producer hat, the two recorded a handful of songs at friend Josh Klinghoffer’s (Red Hot Chili Peppers) house, resulting in a six-song collection featuring Thelen’s soothing timbre and sun-drenched instrumentation. After producing the EP, Thelen met Congleton, and though not a part of the recording process, Congleton has become a vital part of Drug Cabin. The two Los Angeles transplants are currently working on tracks featuring both of them on vocal/songwriting duties. Stay tuned for live dates in the LA area! – Katrina Nattress
