CMU Approved
Approved: Drahla
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 24 October 2017
With a couple of double A-side single releases already this year, Drahla have been gaining plenty of positive attention. Now, with the upcoming release of their debut EP, ‘Third Article’, and an upcoming European tour, they’re ready to take things up a level.
Preceding the EP release is new single ‘Silk Spirit’, a perfect distillation of the band’s bass-heavy post-punk sound. Produced by Hookworms’ MJ, it strikes just the right balance between rough edges and clarity, with lyrics that casually force a barrage of different imagery into your head.
You can catch the band live this week with a show at Crux in Wakefield. After that, they play The Shacklewell Arms in London on 9 Nov, and will be back in the UK supporting Metz at the end of the month.
