Desert Strings and Drifters [EP]

RESTOCK. Few albums have been so poignant in their clarity and emotion while being as stark and sparse as the desert this release was named after. While SHARKS KEEP MOVING's name drips of immediacy, the melodic indie rock music contained on Desert Strings For Drifters is anything but the urgent struggle for survival the name implies. Quite the opposite, this four-song, 28-minute suite unfurls itself as a patient sonic journey littered with indie rock trappings, psychedelic flurries, morose melodies and the occasional rock spasm, all perfectly balanced by Jake Snider's plaintive, fleeting singing.
