DRIFTWD

DRIFTWD is the Belgian-American collaboration around artistic duo architect-musician Sam De Bock and musician-composer Patricia Vanneste (Sohnarr, Hydrogen Sea, ex-Balthazar).

With absolute world-class musicians on board such as Joey Waronker (Beck, Atoms For Peace, Thom Yorke, R.E.M.), Timothy Lefebvre (David Bowie, Elvis Costello, The Black Crowes, Sting) and Donny McCaslin (David Bowie, Dave Douglas, Sun Kil Moon), it should come as no surprise that this band aspires to a distinctive sound. The fusion of Vanneste's melodic expression and De Bock's structural, collage-like approach creates a unique harmony that finds common ground with Massive Attack, Tricky and Lamb as well as 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. Currently, DRIFTWOOD is putting the finishing touches to its second full album.
