NYC trio Lame Drivers has been labelled as a promising band for longer than they care to remember. Critics and other people in the know have been singing their praises before they went on a sort of break to recharge their batteries in 2015. Their new album Become An Island builds upon their signature psych-influenced power pop, with shoegaze and surf guitars as the foundation for their vocal harmonies.
Some of the songs on the album have been gathering dust on the shelf for a couple of years, in various states of completion without the need to finish them properly for an album. When they went back to the stuff to see what was there, they had plenty of songs to choose from, recording them as a band in the same room instead of sending back and forth bits and pieces. It took them awhile to realise that they could be actually making an a recird again. Become An Island is a statement for making music that is unfashionable right now, but in the long run will prove to be timeless.
