Although social media gadgetry may have taken over our lives, there’s a lot to be said for plain ol’ fashioned word of mouth.
Spending the bulk of last year honing their songwriting, October Drift then decided to end 2014 by playing a string of low key shows. Presenting their material for the first time, those lucky enough to catch the performances went away inspired.
Now they’re ready for their debut release. New single ‘Whoever’ will be available on seven inch vinyl from February 16th, and it’s an atmospheric introduction.
Opening with glacial guitars and soaring vocals, the sweeping arrangement is torn in two by a simple click of the fuzz pedal. Erupting into a distorted, molten chorus, ‘Whoever’ betrays a rare maturity from such a new band.
