The Sound of Growing Up While Drifting


The Sound of Growing Up's five song single, Drifting, is a blast of spring loaded pop that will have you jumping all around with joy. This five piece group sounds something like the Get Up Kids in a head on collision with Ben Folds and seem so hyperactive that it's hard to believe that this record is only four songs long.

Drifting is fun, upbeat, and such a sugar rush that by the time the thing draws to a close it's like a sugar crash of such epic proportions you might just need to seek out a psychiatrist. Chunky guitar riffs, sidle up to choppy piano playing, horns and super melodic vocals covering the songs like maple syrup. Drifting is a sugary sweet treat that sounds like the ushering in of summer fun before summer even begins. Short, sticky, and ridiculously catchy indie pop, The Sound of Growing Up's Drifting is the sound of pure pop perfection crammed into a small space dying to be something more. Excellent stuff.
