Really, the best place to keep up to date on what we’re up to is Instagram. That’s the place with the most frequent updates, not only about Dromedary releases but also about shows we’re doing, and about the Signal to Noise radio program on WGXC, which you can listen to on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Monday of every month from 10 til midnight at wavefarm.org (or 90.7 FM in the upper Hudson Valley of New York).

But yeah, we’ve been busy. Most recently we released the album Via, by Via. Via was a short-lived band that started in Boston in 1986, and included some musicians that eventually became legendary from their work with other bands. Guitarist/vocalist Thalia Zedek went on to become one of the founding members of Come, and has had an amazing solo career (as well as releasing some great postpunk music with her other band, E). Guitarist Jerry Di Rienzo went on to form Cell, one of the early beneficiaries of the post-Nirvana major label feeding frenzy of the early 1990s. The band also included James Apt (Six Finger Satellite), Adam Gaynor and Phil Milstein (Uzi). The record has been received really well, with tons of press and radio play from the likes of Henry Rollins.

We also released August, by acclaimed poet Karen Schoemer. Karen’s name is one we’ve known for a long time, and after we saw her play with her band Sky Furrows, we were hyped to find a way to work with her. After we did a couple of shows together, she sent along the tracks that would become August, which is an incredible collection of 31 individual poems (one for each day in August), set to music from the likes of Eric Hardiman, Wednesday Knudsen, Mike Watt, Amy Rigby, Parashi and more.

And back in the summer we released Earthbound, by Moviola. We’ve loved this band for decades, and known them just as long, but Earthbound is the first opportunity we’ve had to put out their music. It’s been a thrill, and the response has been fantastic.

Suffice to say that 2025 was a pretty excellent year for Dromedary. And here we are, in early January, getting ready to launch into 2026. And it will be a pretty exciting year, as we’ve got a number of great projects on tap. The first is one we still can’t believe we’re doing; more about it soon, but it’s a really, really, REALLY good record.

Til then, take care of your neighbors, look in on your friends, and don’t let the bad guys wreck your psyche. Everything ends; this will too.
