Drowner is a band from Houston, Texas whose big, oceanic, atmospheric sound draws on influences as varied as shoegaze, post rock, noise pop and dream pop as well as bands like The Cure, REM, My Bloody Valentine and Mogwai. Drowner is Darren Emanuel on guitar/keys, Sean Evans on guitar, Mike Brewer on bass and Anna Bouchard on vocals.    In late 2010 Anna and Darren began writing in their respective studios and sending demos and tracks back and forth via the internet. In January, recording began and continued into March. The EP was recorded and mixed in Darrens Houston studio using a mix of both digital and analog recording techniques. The barn structure that houses the studio contributed a warmth that became part of the bands sound as the songs developed. The guitars on the EP are layer upon layer drenched in fuzzed out reverb and delay from an old Roland Space Echo.
