  1. Drowned In Sound

    It’s the crafting of timeless, crest-fallen melodies infused with gripping characterisations that elevates Darnielle into the upper-crust of musical virtuosity. And that’s exactly where Heretic Pride leaves him: perched atop the pile of today’s try-hardy singer/songwriters.

    This is business as usual: string-laced Americana that ranks alongside other literate types such as The Shins or Midlake.

    The music often verges on innocuous, but it serves its purpose as a backdrop for Darnielle’s steadily churning imagination.
