Mondo Drag, the newly transplated Bay Area band (originally hailing from Iowa), will release The Occultation Of Light on February 26th.
 
“Each of our albums has directional changes in songwriting and this third chapter is no exception,” says vocalist/keyboardist John Gamino. “Since moving to Oakland, we've been privy to the large amount of music that flows through a major cultural center. We've seen legendary acts like Magma, King Crimson, Goblin, and YES. We are always trying to expand our sonic range and we definitely explore some new areas on the new album that we've not been to before.”
 
Produced by fellow Bay Area resident Phil Manley (Trans Am, Wooden Shjips), the album was recorded live, tracked and mixed on analog tape at El Studio in San Francisco following a tour with Electric Citizen and Slow Season.
