THE DRIFT COLLECTIVE
Drift Records :: Get involved, it's better

Originating in Devon, The Drift Collective are a group of "like-minded musicians who have emerged blinky-eyed from the hedgerows, and now all support each other recording a variety of modern folk that proudly follows its own directions and inclinations without caring a fig what the mainstream might suggest".

“Drift Records have assembled a strong roster that manages to embrace the past while retaining an ironic distance, forging new paths out of the acoustic tradition.” Is This Music?
"The Drift Family provide a near-miraculous glimmer of frail, reflective humanity in a bullshit-filled world" - The Word
"Inventive, imaginative and different; long may they collect together" - Record Collector
“As gorgeous as it is quirky” - Observer Music Monthly
"Fantastic" - Time Out
"Smart" - The Observer
"Gently eccentric" - Mojo



THIRTY POUNDS OF BONE - www.myspace.com/ thirtypoundsofbone

"There is much to savour on this accomplished collection of plaintive laments, of which the title track and drone like uyeasound are exceptional." Q Magazine.
“Proudly different, it has the side-ranging ambition and talent to appeal far more than only folk fans alone." – Record Collector
“The songs interlink via juxtapositions that create a wonderfully morbid and equally petrifying narrative." PlanB
“it's clear that this album isn't going to fit the clichés of many of the recent 'weird folk' trends.” The Word
"Thirty Pounds of Bone is one man johny lamb — standard bearer for all things lo-fi in this shiny, chrome-plated 21st century." FLAVOURPILL


MARY HAMPTON - www.myspace.com/ maryhampton

"A stately clarity" – The Times
"A woman who appears to have spent much of her life attempting to imitate the shimmer of wind-chimes. The effect is mesmerizing..." – The Guardian
"Spine-thrilling attic folk" - Time Out London


BIRDENGINE - www.myspace.com/ birdengine

“There's not likely to be a more arresting opening couplet to an album this year” - The Independent
“It's a very beautiful record.” – The Word
“A strange and compelling beauty.” – Maverick
“Leonard Cohen in a Thomas Hardy Novel” - subba-cultcha.com


THE R.G.MORRISON - www.myspace.com/ thergmorrison

"Raw and vital" - Wire Magazine
"It's the overall sincerity and confidence that make it a worthy listen." - FutureMusic Magazine
"It's a long player that alludes to an obscure oxymoron - both depressing and rousing. A clever album with longevity" - Notion Magazine
"It takes puritan blisters and serious self-control to maintain this sort of melodic hush." - Pitchforkmedia
