All of this appears to be the work of Collin Ward.  I first heard “Warm Waves” and was instantly sucked into the rest.

All of this has been created by Collin Ward.  I suggest starting with “Warm Waves” and moving on from there.

Observer Drift - Corridors

New - Observer Drift - Warm Waves

Being a 33 year-old music blogger/amateur musician can be frustrating hand sometimes. When you stumble across Observer Drift, are taken in by the clever layering of the composition, only to discover it was put together in its entirety by a 20 year-old kid in Bloomington, Minnesota. Nelson Muntz points at me in the back of my head, "Haw haw!"

But we live in a marvelous time, when Collin Ward can spend a little less than a year in his basement and put out a record that sounds this good. Starting by laying out a pretty basic drum beat, creating an atmospheric progression over it, laying a guitar lead or three on top of that, then recording heavily reverb'ed vocal melodies and dirty harmonies as a focal point. Ward has invented a sound that's very comfortable and familiar, yet certainly all his own. I hope he finds himself maybe a collaborator or two (the recordings wouldn't suffer from a live drummer), but regardless, something special is brewing in Minnesota. - MO

I've found a favourite new musician!... "Observer Drift" is probably the best independent proyect I've heard so far this year, this guy has recorded his new album "Corridors" in his bedroom and basement. Please check out his Bandcamp page.
