Drake’s Island – Only Passing Through
Drake's Island - Only Passing Through
Release Date: Out Now
This is the debut release from
Plymouth supergroup Drake’s Island, a band named after a largely abandoned
island off the coast of Britain’s Ocean City. That sense of abandonment and sparse
landscape is front and centre on ‘Only Passing Through’, a track dripping in
ambient soundscapes and meandering electric guitar licks. The vocals grow from
atmospheric and dark to a sense of gritted teeth frustration as the talented
trio of Jamie Yost, Fergus Tanner and Olly Parker build this tune intricately
over its five minute life span. As singles go, it’s a grower more than an
immediate hit but I don’t think for one minute that these guys are interested
in doing anything with the idea of shifting units in mind. This is organic
music that has to grow naturally and any interventions would only damage its
beauty – one to take your time over.
