Drift - Noumena (CD)

San Francisco's the Drift create music that Tortoise should have made. Taking their name to heart, the Drift do just that - from ambient noise and elegant guitar rock to mournful jazz ballads and stunted, down-tempo hip-hop - all with the subtle grace that's to be expected from veterans of the sound. Existing somewhere between Miles Davis's "In a Silent Way" and Tarentel's "From Bone to Satellite", the Drift compose predestined soundtracks for everyday life - not only perfect for a night on the beach, but just as suitable for the long drive getting there. Their music is inescapably passionate, executed with just enough wide-eyed improvisation to sound eternally fresh.
