Frenchkiss recording group Drowners have unveiled details of their long awaited new album. ON DESIRE arrives everywhere on Friday, June 24.
ON DESIRE is available for pre-order now via all leading DSPs. All pre-orders will be accompanied by an instant grat download of the album’s stirring lead track, “Cruel Ways.”
Recorded and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, Johnny Marr, Neon Indian), ON DESIRE sees Drowners more than fulfilling the promise of their self-titled 2014 debut, delivering a collection of 21^st century indie rock that elevates the genre while carrying on the glorious musical continuum which fueled its creation. Tracks like “Conversations With Myself” and “Human Remains” layer ringing guitars, soaring melodies, and propulsive rhythms with a provocative sensuality sparked by singer/guitarist Matthew Hitt’s mesmerizing voice and sardonic lyrics. Epic in aspiration yet intimate at its heart, ON DESIRE stands as an essential moment for Drowners, an evolutionary leap forward as well as an extraordinary zenith all its own.
