Drop Nineteens – “1991” (Released 28th February 2025)

Description

//Wharf Cat//

£24.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Grey Coloured Vinyl

This LP comprises the band’s first two demo sessions, which were mailed out via cassette to labels in 1991, finding their way to the UK music press and generating instant buzz and an ensuing feeding frenzy to sign the band.

After signing with Caroline Records, Drop Nineteens decided to write an entirely new record, ‘Delaware’, for their first official release, leaving the songs on ‘1991’ behind, frozen in time. Swells of layered guitars and buried vocal harmonies adorn these tracks, displaying Drop Nineteens’ UK influences with the comparison to their UK contemporaries like Slowdive and Ride were apt. ‘1991”s songs, recorded with a lo-fi charm, show an ambitious young band capable of writing songs filled with texture and hooks, on the eve of their breakthrough with ‘Delaware’.
