Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country

[dubman]

Anyone else find it really hard to hold off making their own Drift album now that this song is out? I've got an all-killer-no-filler 60 minute arrangement going right now that leans hard into the bangers and flows brilliantly. I'm in love, even though I know we have a whole EP left to go. I shouldn't even be doing this since the final album is inevitably going to backstab me and add something risible like HWH, but this kind of anticipatory burn is just too good.

haha! I'm not brian. was BLD brian? that would make sense. we were the same kind of dickhead...



alright playlist! it heavily favors EP1 as it's still a clear favorite for me...


Another Silent Way
Low Between Zebras
Listen to Their No
Intro BYTWB [though i should make my own 2:30 edit of this]
Appleshine & Continuum [made a 21:20 edit of these mashed together and it works!]
Universe of Can When Back
Dexter's Chalk
Border Country
(looking for another Low Between Zebras type interlude here)
Pinetum
(closer tbd, also hoping for EP5 to come through on it)

so even though it's incomplete if i really wanted to feel like i got The Definite Album, i have been putting this on a loop since i stitched it together and feeling great about it nonetheless. I am somewhat counting on the trend of the last installation of the series being the most ambient one (to mixed results imo, but some good ones nonetheless).
before anyone resents that threat of rain and other longform faves aren't on here, i was fairly ruthless with how i felt an album "works". threat of rain is great, i love it, but it's one giant noodle. it's barely a track. it doesnt extend what it starts on, just ass-grooves into its mood. it'd slow the whole thing down.

Have you considered Dune for your album closer? Seems perfect to me.

I considered it as a mid-album breather (a bit long), but not this! will try it out, thanks
Dune is of one of those strains where I have an essential hater energy for it but something about it sticks and I end up liking it. I can tell I'm in the middle of that process now

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!

It's so good that the seven minutes feels like it goes by in a fraction of that time. Been listening to it all day, just love it. Thanks UW.
