DRAGON WARRIOR is a coalition of bargain-bin electronics, human bodies, ghosts of old Nintendo games, and a miasma of apocalyptic unease who just needed a ride someplace. This is their first album, containing: songs about the moon, songs about the American southwest, songs about made-up places; miniature Tangerine Dream soundscapes, bleary guitar-pop gems, soulful soft-rock ballads; and all the Casiotone beats you know & love, from "beguine" and "bossa nova" to "samba" and "swing".

you ever notice how if you listen to the wrong note long enough it starts to sound like the right one?

the world is dizzying! the world is terrifying! we did not create ourselves! come on, let's dance!

this is an album i made, inspired by N64 Zelda games, Earthbound, the Velvet Underground, etc. I mostly used a bunch of crappy 80's Casio & Yamaha keyboards. There is some MuddyGB in there too. Is it chiptune? Does it matter? You decide.

this was very fun to make and will not be the last of its kind, for better or worse.
