Gavin Hayes: We finished recording it it’s currently being mixed and will probably be mastered and totally finished in mid-November. Y Spy: What’s the status of the new album? In our conversation, Hayes also discussed his recent status as Seattle exile, the band’s increased velocity, and stories of treasure hunts and fake cops. Yet if their choice of producer – hip-hop impresario Dan the Automator – is any indication, basic won’t equal predictable. Last year’s “The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion” stands as one of the most forward-thinking and imaginative rock records in recent memory, and yet Dredg is by no means content to rest on those laurels.Ĭurrently on tour supporting Circa Survive, Dredg is also making the final preparations for its newest release, an as-yet-untitled work which vocalist Gavin Hayes describes as more stripped down than Dredg’s recent output. Mixing anger with orchestration, sound with visual art, the band is nothing if not ambitious.

Dredg has built a long career out of taking rock music to unexpected and panoramic heights.
