When most people get out of a long relationship, they usually take some time off to get familiar again with life lived solo.
Not so for Spencer Draeger. After breaking up his 9 year old band, he immediately jumped into a wellspring of material that has now materialized into latest project The Midnight Hollow. The group takes Draeger’s dark melancholy mindstate, and couples it with tribal drums and hissing synths. The trio have just started playing and their new EP follows close behind. In case you had any doubts of how many ideas Draeger has stuck in his ears, the record boasts only one song under four minutes. But as testified in opener ‘The Midnight Hollow’ (streaming below) this is testament to a band setting down some large ideas. Time will tell what’s next for the brand new group. Check out their EP on the group’s bandcamp. – This band submitted their music for review here – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
