Description

DRIFTWD, formerly known as Driftwood, is the Belgian band around artistic duo architect-musician Sam De Bock and musician-composer Patricia Vanneste (Sohnarr, Hydrogen Sea, ex-Balthazar). 

Through collaborations with absolute world-class musicians such as Joey Waronker (Beck, Atoms For Peace, Thom Yorke, R.E.M.), Timothy Lefebvre (David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Sting) and Donny McCaslin (David Bowie, Sun Kil Moon), it should come as no surprise that this band aspires to a distinctive sound. The fusion of Vanneste's melodious expression and De Bock's structural, collage-like approach results in a unique dark and energetic atmosphere that finds common ground with Massive Attack, Tricky, Lamb and Mark Lanegan.

The pair released debut album 'Only Fighters Left Behind' in February 2020. It was met with rave reviews. The album proved to be an at times pitch-black examination of the consequences of loss, fear, inadequacy and their own disgust. 

Second full album, In Need Of Music, affirms their unique position in Belgium's musical landscape and arrives just in time to guide you through the dark and cold nights of Belgian fall. Aren't we all In Need Of Music?
