Our Take

Move over One Direction, there's a new group in town, and they go by the name of The Drifters. This collection of their complete releases from 1953 to 1962 is a whirlwind journey through the golden age of doo-wop and R&B.

From their early hits like "Money Honey" to their later classics like "Save the Last Dance for Me", this album showcases the incredible vocal harmonies and soulful melodies that made The Drifters a household name.

The production may be a bit dated by today's standards, but there's an undeniable charm to these recordings that transports you back to a simpler time when music was all about raw talent and infectious energy.

Listening to The Drifters is like taking a trip down memory lane, with each song evoking a different emotion and memory. Whether you're dancing to their up-tempo tracks or swaying along to their ballads, there's something for everyone on this comprehensive collection.

So, whether you're a die-hard fan of doo-wop or just looking to expand your musical horizons, The Drifters' complete releases are a must-have for any music lover. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

The Drifters

DRIFTERS are a mysterious duo hailing from the depths of the underground music scene. With their blend of dreamy synth pop and gritty guitar riffs, they have managed to carve out a niche for themselves in a crowded market. Comprising of two enigmatic figures known only as A and B, DRIFTERS have captured the attention of fans and critics alike with their electrifying live performances and infectious hooks. Their music is a sonic rollercoaster, taking listeners on a journey through the highs and lows of love, heartbreak, and everything in between. Despite their relatively short time in the spotlight, DRIFTERS have already made waves in the industry, earning comparisons to the likes of The XX and Beach House. Their debut album, 'Lost in the Echoes', has garnered praise for its innovative production and emotive lyrics, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie music. But perhaps what sets DRIFTERS apart from their peers is their refusal to conform to industry norms. In a world where image often trumps talent, DRIFTERS have stayed true to their DIY ethos, eschewing major labels in favour of maintaining creative control over their music. With their ethereal soundscapes and haunting vocals, DRIFTERS are a breath of fresh air in an industry saturated with cookie-cutter pop stars. Keep an eye on these two elusive figures – they are destined for big things.
