Doldrums – The Drake

One thing that could be said for sure about Airick Woodhead, he’s equal parts experimenter and songwriter, and as far as side-projects go, Doldrums allows him the opportunity to wear on his sleeves the influences only hinted at in Spiral Beach. Assembling a band (including members of Heartbeat Hotel & The Miles) to translate his home demos live, this four-piece employ a seamless blend of psych-laden electro-driven pop, touches of avant-garde and IDM leanings (think Four Tet meets Animal Collective) synchronized to live double-drumming. A sound collage that more than holds up on its own.
