Drifter the long awaited solo album from Ian Bland featuring a generous 15 tracks that cover topics ranging from life in the Australian bush to life in the suburbs to just life in general.
Years spent building up his arsenal of observations and snippets of ideas, all captured in notebooks and just waiting for their chance to be turned into a song. Indeed even as “Drifter” is being released, Ian is already well into the writing for his next album.
Drifter is full of songs that won’t be discarded after a couple of listens, songs that keep revealing ever more layers to intrigue you.
Pick a song from the list and get a taste of how it sounds. It’s easier than reading another half a page of hyperbole telling you what it sounds like.
