DRIFTWD, formerly known as Driftwood, is the Belgian-American collaboration around artistic duo architect-musician Sam De Bock and musician-composer Patricia Vanneste (Sohnarr, Hydrogen Sea, ex-Balthazar). With the inclusion of internationally acclaimed talents such as Joey Waronker (Beck, Atoms For Peace, Thom Yorke, R.E.M.), Timothy Lefebvre (David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Sting) and Donny McCaslin (David Bowie, Sun Kil Moon) on board, it should come as no surprise that this band aspires to a distinctive sonic landscape. The convergence of Vanneste’s melodious expression and De Bock’s structural, collage-like approach results in a unique harmony that resonates with influences like Massive Attack, Tricky, Lamb and Mark Lanegan. The duo unveiled their debut album, “Only Fighters Left Behind,” which garnered widespread critical acclaim. Presently, DRIFTWD is in the final stages of crafting their second full-length album, slated for release in Sept/Oct 2024. With first single ‘Bonfire’, the band immediately makes it clear that it has no intention of holding back. Written just after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the song comes in like a sledgehammer blow.
