KID DAKOTA’S Age of Roaches was completed as Covid-19 was spreading throughout the world. Although not about the pandemic, the album makes the fear and anxiety produced by forces greater than one’s self palpable. With the assistance of some of Minnesota’s finest musicians - Alan Sparhawk, Jeremy Ylvisaker, Christopher McGuire, Ian Prince, Matthew Kazama, and Justin Korhonen - Darren Jackson weaves together the disparate themes of nuclear annihilation, ecological collapse, addiction, forced human migration, physical trauma, and the overwhelming presence of infinite space and time into a apocalyptic, postmodern concept album. Recorded at various Minnesota studios - Pachyderm (Cannon Falls), Sacred Heart (Duluth), Homesteader (Minneapolis) - over the past ten years, the album also marks a turning point in the career of Darren Jackson as a producer. For while simplicity has always been a hallmark of Kid Dakota’s sound, Age of Roaches combines this minimalism with an almost neurotic attention to detail that rewards repeated listening. Age of Roaches was released by Savannah, GA based label, Graveface Records on 12/11/2020.

“I’VE BEEN WITNESS TO THE SOPHISTICATED AND RARE TALENT THAT IS KID DAKOTA SINCE THEIR DEBUT BUT WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS MASTERPIECE. IT’S AS IF ALL THE INTENT AND POWER OF ELECTRIC MUSIC HAS BEEN CONDENSED DOWN TO THE PUREST AND MOST FLUID FORM. DARREN JACKSON HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SONGWRITING INSPIRATION TO ME BUT THIS RECORD IS JUST PURE AWE.” ALAN SPARHAWK (LOW)
