Drain Gang is the sound of authentic influence and imagination – well beyond working in an articulable genre or style, the collective has reinvented what it means to make truthful music. Vocalists Bladee, Ecco2k, Thaiboy Digital and producer Whitearmor transfigure feeling, experience, and sound into something altogether new, generating a result that is as much an addicting affective collage as an everyday mysticism: hypnotic, ethereal, startling and tender. The group met as kids in Stockholm, producing music in various formations, and around 2013, they started calling what they were doing Drain Gang.
Since their early releases on Soundcloudfirst cultivated an audience among fans of cloud-rap and other genre innovations, their prolific output on the label YEAR0001 has gained Drain Gang a global cult following, and the artists’ shared vision finds them ascending creative heights with every release.
