After a debut EP, “This Is Oil” (Deadlight, 2008), an impressively massive full-length,”All Is One” (Slowburn, 2011) along the lines of Mastodon and Baroness, constant touring in Europe and a split EP with fellow French Stoner / Doomsters Hangman’s Chair (“Moodisorder,” 2012), DRAWERS decided in a wise move that doing killer music wasn’t enough and that being able to reinvent themselves was way more interesting than releasing the same album over and over, as killer that album could be.
They stripped down their material while keeping everything that made them such a praise outfit in their scene – heaviness, catchiness and a killer sense of groove and song-writing- and recorded their new, self-titled, second full-length live in the studio to capture the essence of their art. Keeping things as straight forward and down to Earth as they could, being on disc what they
really stand for live – a supercharged, high-octane, groove machine whose music is as captivating as enjoyable and which stage presence is as intense as entertaining.
Ditching obvious references to their early influences, DRAWERS grows and matures, crafting with that new album a full set of instant hits that will have the listeners hooked upon the very first listen, sing along and for sure continue singing their tunes way after the record stopped playing. Expect them live everywhere as, to quote the band, they are “seriously ready to play wherever
they can!” Along with THE LUMBERJACK FEEDBACK, yet an other impressive new Doom band on the Kaotoxin roster!
*Author’s note: After just a few songs into the record, this band is a must for stoner/doom fans! You have the progression and aggression of aforementioned Mastodon, and the sweet, sweet greasy tones and riffs of Baroness. Its refreshing to hear more and more bands going the way of the riff, instead of overt heaviness or speed (nothing wrong with it, just refreshingly different), I want more of bands liek these guys, DRAWERS, giving the groove a big ol’ dirty backseat comeback!*
