Drowaton

Their love of archetypal pop and AM radio has provided, over the course of two acclaimed albums, a rock-solid foundation for a while bunch of inspired unusualness, all baked to perfection under the hot Oklahoman sun. Their unique brand of instrumentally complex, surrealistically worded pop contains a blend of classic string arrangements, cheeky boyish vocal, catchy melody and orante surrealism. You might call it bubblegum psych. Church bells, horns, piano, violin, tambourine, triangle, synths, and sound effects complement the usual suspects of bass and drums to paint a broad sonic palate.
