Background
After the release of 2015's Victoria Park (which was also released through Orchid Tapes), Newfoundland native Aaron Powell began work on Dragonchaser, which was recorded in both the city of St John's and Glovertown, Newfoundland and Labrador (Powell's hometown) respectively. Powell described the record as having recurring themes of "self medication and habits we all have to keep ourselves sane." The album spawned three singles, "Rattlesnake", "Side Effects" and "Push". It received coverage from SPIN,[2] Stereogum,[3] Tiny Mix Tapes[4] and VICE.[5]
