Get the track everywhere you find music!

This industrial-psych track features haunting vocals bolstered by textural guitar, a dynamic backbone beat and steady bass. Immersive, imaginative and melancholy.

The core of this piece was originally written and recorded at home by Nathan Jamiel in early 2021 in Lafayette, CO during a solo two-day psychedelic exploration of Deterministic philosophy fresh on the heels of the death of his father and childhood friend.

lyrics

Stare into the bit that was etched
Into time and space, then egress
forever trapped in amber
forever trapped together
forever trapped
We watch you hang, are you alive
On the wall, in plain sight
Sweet vessel, empty and light
I was just projecting
Here come back, from the edge
Where you left your sick and dying for dead
A moment, trapped in your head
Forever, trapped, forever, trapped, forever

NEW ALBUM
Today we are happy to announce the release of our new full-length album Superposition!

Grab a copy from Emergency Hearts records:
https://emergencyhearts.bandcamp.com/album/superposition

Also available everywhere you find music.

A superposition is when multiple things occupy the same space, an apt name for this unique collection of layered soundscapes and aural exploration from the Denver-based experimental-psych band The Drood. This album represents a shift in perspective from some of the groups previous releases as it takes a decidedly ambient direction, doing away with the expected percussion and vocals and instead exploring the environmental emotion of atmospheres. Peppered only sparsely with haunting guitar and bass rhythms, most of the focus is on sonic experimentalism and the improvised sound experience.

The album features 60 minutes of uninterrupted audio divided into 16 tracks that flow seamlessly from one to the other on a journey through texture, color, space and time.

Originally recorded for the Mysteries of Ub television show Episode 83 broadcast live on March 3rd, 2023, this release features the isolated audio beautifully mastered by Anatoly Tokee Grinberg with artwork by Daniel Watts using reconstructed imagery by dAs from the original broadcast.

Check out this sweet remix of our track It Must Needs Wither by Telepathix (aka, the amazing Steve Marsh)! Grab it at Emergency Hearts Bandcamp!!
