The Drift

Mentioned in a handful of threads but they need their own. Taped them opening for Mono a couple of Mono shows ago and they're amazing. Explosions in the Sky just invited them to play the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in May and they will be doing some European touring based around that trip.

PS - totally unrelated to this post but I remembered they are from San Francisco and well, that means they need to tour with dredg or something...

I think you mentioned them before, also when you mention TSJ5. Though this stuff sounds great now... i'm more into it now (PS - can i grab a show?).

Added after 1 minutes:

No fucking way, four tet did some remixes for them.

*is even more intrigued...

I imagine they are better live.

They're really cool about taping so I had them added to the LMA at archive.org

Here's that set opening for Mono (World's End Girlfriend) played after them. I still need to torrent the soundboard source, or hell, if I stop being lazy matrix the two. Sounds really nice IMO...

Thanks. Sounds lush indeed. Possibly one of my favourite recordings right now infact...
