WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE FORTHCOMING RELEASE OF OUR NEW ALBUM ENTITLED ‘VEIL’, OUT IN EARLY 2024.
‘Veil’ promises to deliver in grand Drifting Sun style… expect a few surprises too!
Our new record introduces two amazing new musicians to the fold. Who are they? Okay, okay! We'll tell you!
Fudge Smith is on drumming duties.
He joined us at the Fusion festival in Worcestershire last March and will be banging hard on his kit for the first time on record with us!
Ralph Cardall is the most recent addition to the band. He is currently labouring hard to put down some real tasty guitars on the songs!
Ralph and Fudge join forces with Jargon on vocals, Pat Sanders on keyboards and John Jowitt on bass; the infernal trio who struck a chord or two on "Forsaken Innocence" in 2021!
The concept of Veil touches on the state of turmoil one faces when their world is turned upside down
- something that will no doubt resonate with many of us in the wake of the past few years -
and the cruciality of preserving the closeness that bonds our souls and brings us together beyond the harsh realities of life… a glimmer of hope and a gentle reminder that there is beauty out there to grab if you care to look at what truly matters.
We'd also like to introduce our central character for Veil - namely 'Mister Splodge' (don't ask) -
who accompanies us throughout this new journey into the weird and wonderful world of Drifting Sun, and although he doesn’t play any instruments (at least that we know of), Splodge embodies the true qualities of love and kindness we strive
to show each other in a harsh world that all too often fails to nurture us with.
