News : Adrift For Days’ “Come Midnight…” mini tour

By on July 4, 2012

Press release:

Sydney’s psychedelic droners Adrift for Days are hitting Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney as part of a mini-tour in support of their new album “Come Midnight…”

Adrift for Days formed in late 2008 in Sydney, Australia. Their debut album The Lunar Maria was released in August 2010 to widespread critical acclaim, gaining attention from Metal Hammer, Heavy Magazine, Unbelievably Bad Magazine, Metal Obsession, Pop-Rock.com and many more.

The band have distinguished themselves on Australia’s live circuit, having played with a huge variety of bands including Cough (USA), Rosetta (USA), Acid King, sleepmakeswaves, Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, Whitehorse, Meniscus, Breaking Orbit, Helm, Lo!, Space Bong, Five Star Prison Cell, Sydonia, Jericco, and Electric Horse.

On their new album Come Midnight… Adrift for Days have retained the smoky, psychedelic, heaviness that they’ve become known for, while also ambitiously expanding their sound. This sprawling album incorporates elements of doom, drone, stoner, sludge, blues, ambience, psychedelic rock, and post-metal. As a result, the album as a whole is hard to pin down to a single style or genre.

Their latest meditation is an ambitious, 71-minute concept album that draws influence from Earth, Jimi Hendrix, YOB, The Doors, Neurosis, Pink Floyd, Rosetta and Boris — and is currently streaming in full over at Art As Catharsis.

Be sure to catch Australia’s psychedelic droning doom giants when they hit your town!
