Drop Electric - Waking Up to the Fire

by Drop Electric

supported by

Sarah Oksiuta I can listen to this band's library on repeat all day. It's intense and yet not overpowering. It makes me feel something. Something that's hard to describe except for that I want to feel it all the time.

Chris Louis My new favorite album. I generally prefer instrumental works, but this has my favorite vocal style. a bit distant and a little distorted. dreamlike. I learned of the band's existence from Planet Money: they did a joint episode with a podcast this band does the music for, and Waking Up to the Fire is used as one of their theme songs, but the whole album is unexpectedly fantastic. It also reminds me of something I can't quite place. So it's also somehow strangely nostalgic.
fav track: Carl Pagan

You made my June. I'm not really sure why I love your music so much, but it's just really inspiring that you turned all of these things that happened to you into these jams and ballads. You're brave to process your life and ideas through music and put them out here. I guess many musicians are, but for some reason I didn't really think of it that way until I heard this album. break.light
