Description
Spirit Adrift was created by Nate Garrett out of necessity. Garrett cut his teeth in the south, in a humid melting pot of doom, sludge, psychedelic rock and hardcore punk.
He played, recorded and toured with as many bands as possible, always following the sonic path carved by the masters. Bands like Black Sabbath, Neurosis and Eyehategod were the guides during his most formative years. More specifically, Garrett was deeply influenced by the artistic and personal relationships he shared with fellow Arkansans such as Deadbird, Rwake, Seahag and Pallbearer. His experience in the climate of southern heavy music left an impression that will last a lifetime.
Garrett moved to Arizona in 2011, joining Take Over And Destroy and later Gatecreeper. Things were going well but some ghosts had stuck with him. The Behind-Beyond EP came out in early 2016. Metal Hammer described it as a stunning work sure to pique the interest with its gorgeous, fuzzed out progressions and solid foundations of rock. Noisey went on to say the two tracks unfurl purposefully and with grace to paint a desert-tinted portrait of modern American doom. Before the EP was even released, Garrett had written an album's worth of material. Produced by AZ's Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket studios,
