Odonian Drifts releases new single

Formed in 2021 by musician and poet I.S. Rowley, who is also one-fifth of post-punk band Spirits in the Pillar, Odonian Drifts is the latest solo endeavour from the Nottingham-based artist. Crafting immersive sonic tapestries full of atmospheric instrumental tones washed in stretching reverb, his artistic vision is extraordinarily original, delivered via his innovative arrangements and unique vocal style.

First unveiling his striking sound last year, he released his debut single “Xsufflation”, followed up by the sophomore track “Now: Zero (Aftertones)”. Now he brings us his latest work with his third single titled “Promethean Lag (Fractured Tale 1)”, lifted from his forthcoming debut full-length record Earwitness on Trial, set to drop later this year.

As the lead single from the new album, “Promethean Lag (Fractured Tale 1)” offers the first taste of the thrilling and entirely enveloping musical world of Odonian Drifts. The new track reveals an artist and composer who’s creativity is vast, and ability to bring to fruition a groundbreaking audio experience unrivalled.

Crafting a hazy, avant-garde sound of intricate synthesiser arrangements and subtly snapping beats, his poetic vocal style delivers picture painting lyricism to offer an enthralling piece of music. Looking to the English folklore of the green children of Woolpit and the legend of the submerged town of Semerwater, on “Promethean Lag (Fractured Tale 1)” Odonian Drifts draws metaphorical concepts to pose questions about how ethical responsibility and hospitality towards others might help bring about a fairer and more bountiful society in the modern world.

Once again showcasing his thoroughly engaging songwriting skill, with his new single the artist builds further excitement for his upcoming debut LP.
