Giant Drag, the on-again, off-again rock persona of Annie Hardy, is finally resurfacing. The “Swan Song” EP, which I believe was originally due out in 2008, is set for a Feb. 16 release, and director G.J. Echternkamp makes Hardy the target for everything from glitter to green beans in this video for “Stuff to Live For.” History lesson: It was way back in the middle of the last decade (and doesn’t it feel weird to type that?) that Giant Drag achieved next-big-thing status, and it was deserved, with Hardy as the art-damaged but razor-sharp shoegazer girl who could carry a room with a song or a quip. “Hearts & Unicorns” came out in 2005; Giant Drag played Coachella in 2006; a full-length album is in the works for release later this year. Been waiting.
