Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
 

made my 21:20 edit of appleshine and its continuum just now and I'm quite pleased in that way where I know I've done it mostly if not exclusively for grubby selfish reasons, but it works for me!

So, if I am not miscounting they said they had 3 or 4 more The Nick collars going? That would be an EP by-it-self. Also, if the album comes in October, there are hella lot of weeks open still, no? I guess there will be a summer break after next week, then No. 5 and then the album?! (And by gosh I cannot wait for November for the boxset!)

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
 

In the sleeve notes they said they recorded 5 or 6 jams with the Necks. That doesn't necessarily mean we'll get all of them, but I'd imagine probably one more for Drift.

I wrote a potential calendar of the remaining weeks here. Ep 4 was 6 tracks, so it might be something like the 2nd calendar I outlined.

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
 

That looks at least possible but I would also not be surprised if they make a dedicated EP as a Drift bonus, as they did with the soundtrack or as singles like the extended Sonia Mode. Well, I’m open to spending some money.

Great track...some of the high hats remind me of Dark Train...a really good consistent & fun banging track.


I feel like I get more of the track's intensity listening through headphones rather than on my car's stereo. Two very different experiences for me.


I'll give a (likely) unpopular opinion that this doesn't make the album--at least not in current form. It almost has a You do Scribble feel to it--Which was an amazing live track for many years before iterating to Scribble. You have to wonder why Border Country wasn't released for so long (haven't they been playing it live since last fall?). Perhaps they have been trying to "sharpen" Border Country in the studio?


Anyway my two cents...

Fantastic atmosphere in the layers. A classic driving song, one of those relentless tracks that swallows up the road at a fast clip. Love it, especially the arps and vocal right before the 5:48 drop.

Any ideas on the lyrics?

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
 

we don't really know what the album aims to do yet, do we? If it's a 'best of' Drift sorta thing, then the track is definitely making it, as UW themselves know it's a favorite. but you have to think they have other plans in mind. I've been listening to these EPs a ton so anything 'new' would be excellent.

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
 

its being released as Drift 4: Space. but i dont see any way to purchase the set as with the other 3. hmm.

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
