THE DRIFT – noumena – CD

Originally a side project from Danny Grody (Tarentel) and Trevor Montgomery (Lazarus), San Francisco’s The Drift very quickly matured into a full-time dub-jazz-rock ensemble. After Montgomery left Tarentel and The Drift to focus on his Lazarus project, the band enlisted upright bass phenom Safa Shokrai to replace him – in addition to Jeff Jacobs on trumpet and Rich Douthit (Halifax Pier) on drums – ultimately steering the band away from its ambient rock leanings and into the hazy world of dub-infused guitar stabs and inspired jazz shuffles.
