In the wake of death comes such great emotional weight, and, in turn, inspiration. For the members of San Francisco instrumental rock group The Drift, the past two years have been particularly trying, especially after the passing of Jeff Jacobs, the band's trumpet and flugel horn player. Jacobs' spirit lives on, his memory honored, throughout The Drift's new LP, Blue Hour. It's an album that stands tall with a resilient sound that speaks volumes to the power of the soul in overcoming grief and pain.
One of the album's standout tracks, "Horizon," is anchored by a heavy bassline and enriched with a dynamic range of guitar textures, from winding leads to shots of dissonance. It features the mood of post-rock and the muscle and emotive tug of post-hardcore. Check it out below.
