Listening Party: Beneath the Surface by Aren Drift
This may be an EP, but in its scope Beneath
the Surface by Aren Drift is absolutely EPic.
NOT IN THE MODERN, co-opted car insurance, internet gaming
form of Epic, but a proper, belting, blockbuster Epic – in a mere
four tracks.
CREDIT: KATERINA TUMOVA
The music soars above, like some majestic, legendary bird; you
leap to grab hold of its feet, and you are sent flying with it.
The perfectly melded guitars, bass, drums and vocals are like a
winter chill to the face, slapping you with monster thumping riffs
and lyrics. If Beneath the Surface were a film, then it would be a
meticulously directed saga, each part in its rightful place, shade
and light in perfect unison, the perfect length.
AREN DRIFT ARE: AREN (RADKA NEMCOVA), VOCALIST, BACKING
GUITAR, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER; MATT PLUMLEY, LEAD GUITAR;
DOMINIC CALLIHANE, DRUMS; THEO CORCORAN, BASS
Yes, if it was a film then you would need to watch it; but instead,
watch Aren Drift, whenever you next get a chance, and listen to
this EP, before they hit it big. n
