Drew recently released an excellent Night Mode solo album, “Mystic Places.” Check it out below. Here’s what he has to say about it:
Hello. Light a candle. Drink a potion. Close your eyes and see. Mystic Places is a soundtrack for watching the sun go down on a humid summer evening, dense as the warm air full of fireflies, and long enough to take you into the dark of the night. It is for conjuring good spirits. It was born in the purest moments of experimentation and naive impulse, as if the synthesizers and sequencers were ouija boards guiding my hand to a destination I didn’t know existed. It was carefully edited and mixed for long-playing cohesion, blending synth explorations with field recordings, singing bowls, and a 7 year old girl’s recorder. Put on the headphones and relax, or crank up your stereo and see who else shows up to listen.
This album is free, with beautiful cover art by my friend, Ethan Jones. I asked him to recreate the cover of a book that fascinated me as a child. I couldn’t charge anyone for this music, because I feel like it was just given to me to hold onto, temporarily.
