“Max Patch” is Dragondeer’s token of appreciation to the highest open field on the Appalachian trail. The smokey mountain funk tune was written when the group had a few days off on tour and stayed in a rural cabin on the North Carolina/Tennessee border. The song lyrics speak to the easy vibes reminiscent of a moonshine drinking jam session between close family and friends situated above the cloud line at the cabin. The carefree groove presents equal parts soul and rock and roll, just as the lyrics call out—think one part Meters, one part Allman Brothers stirred up with a twist of funky guitar from Jordan Linit (Analog Son) and poised conga grooves lent by Jeff Franca (Thievery Corporation). Dragondeer dove into expansive sonic territories during their Color Red session that embodies the collaborative vision of both the label and the Colorado music scene within itself.
