Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine

[purlieu]

Oh yeah, it's definitely like Riverrun, and I really appreciate that. Ultimately, I'll likely listen to the physical releases a lot more, purely out of habit and most of my listening coming from browsing my shelves. But the fact that they're releasing music in this way is enjoyable in itself: the feeling of connection, the excitement of a new track each week, the looser, more spontaneous approach to the music itself. There are still very few established artists really taking advantage of the freedom digital distribution provides, so I'm glad that some of my favourite artists are doing so (FSOL have been doing a 'calendar album' - one track a month over the course of a year - for three years now which feels very similar to this in some ways).
