In spite of the nearly three-year gap between their debut album, 'Noumena', and this followup, The Drift have been anything but lazy, The Drift toured consecutively with labelmates Explosions In The Sky and MONO across North America and Japan, cementing lasting bonds and providing a brilliant contrast to the fireworks and devastation unleashed by their tourmates, devastation unleashed by their tourmates, Though the music on 'Memory Drawings' is familiar, there is a depth to both the performance and production that feels new all over again, Recorded directly to analog tape with longtime producer Jay Pelici at Tiny Telephones in San Francisco, themix is used as another instrument to help shape each song, channeling the mythos of late 60s jazz and late 70s dub classics.
