About

Son Drop is Thursday afternoon anthems from the heart of Kalamazoo luminary James Duke.  The jams are fully realized with a little help from his friends, the amazing Selner brothers Jarad and Jarab and ex-megaphones rhythm section, Dan Flack and Jeremy Ruggles.  You can listen to our tunes at our website, bandcamp page, myspace, or here.  Or you can download the album

What people think of us…

“With splashes of folky Americana and psychedelic pop, Deep In The Underbark reminds me of summer vacations in the band’s hometown: slides, milkshakes, beaches on the Great Lakes, sandy sidewalks and faded lighthouses.”
– Shock Mountain

“Son Drop has a way of organically growing the plain into the fantastic, without it seeming so obviously like a trip.”
– Recoil Magazine

“Home-schooled 4-trackers from Michigan swing with their eyes closed and hit a triple with this psychedelic country gem.”
– Andrew Stewart, Pooplist 2010 Top 20 Albums (#18)

“(Deep In the Underbark) has this amazing organic rhythm to it that reminds me a lot of a live Neil Young acoustic set. Listening to it is like being with old friends you’ve just met.”
– Brian James the Author
