Dragging an Ox Through Water

The Woods
Portland, OR

Born in Twin Falls, ID, Brian Mumford grew up moving between different areas of Oklahoma, Montana, and Colorado. His main musical project, Dragging an Ox through Water, marries the lyrical twang of country and folk to the broken textures of feedback, drones, tape hiss, and the howl of homemade oscillators. A strong value on the contrast between chance and intention makes both performances and recordings a constantly evolving process.
He also plays in Jackie-O Motherfucker, Grandfather Claws, Deeds, Thicket, and Jung Sleaths.

Brian Has collaborated with TJO, Chris Johanson, John Wiess, John Gruntfest, Makino Takashi, Weasel Walter, Jackie-O Motherfucker, and many others. He has played shows with Silver Apples, Earth, Young Marble Giants, Michael Hurley, Grouper, Katie Eastburn, Inca Ore, Jean-Louis Costes, Scott Kelly (Neurosis), The Sic Alps, Jackie-O Motherfucker, Tara Jane O'Neil, Xiu Xiu, Janet Pants Dance Theatre, Final Fantasy, The Oh Sees, Calvin Johnson, Ida, Beach House, The Horrors, The Fiery Furnaces, The Dead Science, Little Claw, Fred Thomas, Argumentix, Tall Firs, Linda Hagood, Tom Carter, The Enablers, Radar Bros., Castanets, Jazzfinger, and many more.
