Album Notes

The Drownout is an Atlanta indie rock band that merges powerful melodies, eerie atmospherics, and fast, driving dance beats into conscious, heartfelt songs designed to move those listening -- literally.

A part of the newest wave of New Wave-inspired bands, The Drownout distinguishes itself from its colleagues by combining an unapologetic musicality with a high-energy performance that one would typically only expect from a hardcore punk band.

Hear what others are saying about the album:

"Paper Trails and Binds is one of this year’s most infectious rock-dance albums."
- Atlanta Music Guide, September 2008

"Their funky/indie/dance rock is reminiscent of The Bravery and The Killers. Simple instrumentals paired with solid vocals and a splash of synth and keys makes their music ideal to dance to...they have a tight sound and an immense stage presence. If you're a fan of the East Atlanta, skinny jeans, indie rock scene you should definitely try on The Drownout."
- Rock Fist Reviews, September 2008

"Atlanta’s The Drownout plays an interesting take on the new New Wave resurgence hiding at the bottom of music’s collective cereal box lately. Vocalist-slash-guitarist Jason Jones has an eerie quality to his vocals and melodies not unlike those of Interpol’s Paul Banks."
- Free Times, May 2008
