“Drift” gave me the feeling when leaving a place you love, which can be sad on one hand, but also exciting on the other, because there might be something new and better to come. There is a reflective and slightly melancholic tone throughout, balanced by a quiet sense of optimism. Sitting between ambient-leaning melodic house and cinematic electronica, Drift is for the late-night introspective listening moments.
I loved how the track pushes and pulls back the listener through different levels of intensity, a sense of mystery being slowly revealed but not fully, and a playfulness between positivity and slight darkness.
