Drowse

Drowse

Drowse has been played on NTS shows including Emotional Landscapes, with Death Thought first played on 26 March 2018.

1) “Blending slowcore, ambient, and folk with lo-fi musings on memory and entropy, Portland, Oregon musician Kyle Bates joins a grand tradition of Pacific Northwestern gloom.” -Pitchfork

Drowse is the self-recording and songwriting project of Pacific Northwest based multidisciplinary artist Kyle Bates. The project’s prismatic sound reflects slowcore, ambient, folk, experimental electronic, noise-pop, black metal and more through Bates’s distinct song-worlds. Live, these ornate sounds are accompanied by the artist’s “incredibly lush and dreamy” video work. On new album Wane into It, Bates’s songwriting and production have never been more lucid; sounds flicker as he sings with fragile intensity. The record, Drowse’s third for vaunted dark music label The Flenser (Midwife, Chat Pile, Ragana), impressionistically distills loss, distance, mystery, prescription drugs, the preservation of memory via recording, and ambient anxiety through its titular act: to Wane into It, to disappear awaiting the next moon phase, water returning to sea before reemerging as a wave.

2) Drowse is a cult
