02 - Bad Things

Currently selling out the UK’s small venues on their headline tour, announcing bigger rooms and further tickets due to popular demand, rising quartet October Drift share the B-side to their ‘Robots’ single, ‘Syrup’, due for self-release on 7” vinyl on November 13th.

In contrast to the crashing walls of distortion and swirling soundscapes October Drift pride their live sets on, ‘Syrup’ glows and murmurs across a three-minute swoop to newfound atmospheric territories. 

“It’s about waking up to that moment when you don't quite know where you are, or even who you are, and the crash back to reality as things start to come back to you. 

As far as our songs go it's definitely one of the more optimistic,” the band explains.

Despite having repeatedly sold out both their debut headline tour earlier this year, and a live stint through May, wowing audiences at packed-out Tramlines and Dot2Dot festival appearances, and with two explosive singles ‘You Are, You Are’ and ‘Whoever’ under their belts, October Drift assert themselves as an enigma in 2015. 

Continuing to shun social media, appearing clandestine behind ambiguous placards with mysterious balaclava-clad characters appearing through the cities they play, the band continue to communicate with their fans purely one-on-one.
With mixing duties courtesy of Dan Cox of Urchin Studios (Thurston Moore, Three Trapped Tigers, Theme Park), the band take a DIY approach to their recording, tracking everything themselves in their own studio.

'Have you seen my baby' is a song by a Leeds band Blues Fuzz, home recorded in April 2016. 

They say they like all the stuff that was unheard off back in the day


Have You Seen My Baby

The first single from James Leonard Hewitson.

Produced by Chris McManus.

Lyrics:

It's okay to walk away from the things you don't have to walk towards
Sometimes it's natural to feel less obliged than you did before
It doesn't interest me any more
It doesn't interest me any more

Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless

I feel our common interests slipping away as they change
This is real and perhaps knowing you was just a phase
It doesn't interest me any more
No it doesn't interest me any more

Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless

(Middle section)

Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless
Just because you care less, doesn't mean that you are careless
Just because you love less, doesn't mean that you are loveless

Whoa-oh...

Care Less, Love Less

Happiness Is On The Horizon
