Influences: The sublime feeling you get while raising your voice, the stomping of feet, conspiracy, playing the game by their rules and winning, the burning you get in your stomach when you know something is wrong, the burning you get in your stomach when you know something is right, hollow-bodied guitars, hollow-bodied girls, the fear of drowning, the fear of floating, cold wind, control, getting answers that require you to ask more questions, knowing we will all die one day, knowing that we are all invincible until that day, circles, seeking truth and not finding it, telling a lie and believing it, zen, chaos, color, static.
Sounds Like: Drew Black was intense, powerful, with those moments of silence between high sound like rich black earth between the fresh green of new plants.
(JOEL KRAFT- singer/songwriter)----------------------------His label's website compares Drew Black's music to "the biography of some serial killer" and further describes his songs as "intense" and "captivating".It's a fairly accurate account.Drew Black's music is dark and brooding, but also sympathetic. He has been described as a "three-listen" artist; the type of musician whom the average listener can only begin to truly appreciate after the third time his songs are heard. Unlike trendy pop artists who churn out catchy, radio-friendly tunes that are loved the first day and hated by the end of the month, a "three-listen" artist such as Black creates complex, stirring pieces of poetry set to haunting and atmospheric post-modern pop music. This is the type of music which at first puzzles the listener, then consumes him.Those who overcome their fear are rewarded with great songs that refuse to go stale and lyrics which are fresh upon every listen.
