A second single from space travel rock ’n’ rollers Swervedriver has just entered the atmosphere. “Drone Lover” from the forthcoming January 25th release Future Ruins sails and soars while a conscious chorus comments on the depersonalized nature of 21st century techno-warfare. The video is a fitting grainy and distorted collage peppered with found footage, live clips and drone-cam visuals.

Check out the “Drone Lover” video below and Future Ruins album.

Swervedriver is a band formed in 1989 in Oxford, England. A new album Future Ruins is released in January 2019.

the new track from Swervedriver is a little more grungy but with great duelling guitars,
It’s been a long time coming — seventeen years long, to be precise — but on March 6th, Swervedriver are ready to release a brand new album, I Wasn’t Born To Lose You, marking the shoegaze vets’ first full-length record since 1998’s 99th Dream.

The question isn’t so much why the wait, after all, as the band was broken up and had been silent for almost ten years before reconvening around 2007. Reunion tours do strange things to bands: they either revive old battles or, as in this case, remind them of great musical bonds. Still, a new album was a subject Swervedriver approached cautiously.

Early-’90s British shoegazers Swervedriver might not be as revered as contemporaries like My Bloody Valentine or Ride, but they did charged-up bleariness as well as almost anyone. Swervedriver went on hiatus in 1998 and then reunited at the 2008 Coachella festival, but they never got around to releasing any new music until the single Deep Wound last year. And now the band has announced that they’ve got a new full-length ready to go. “I Wasn’t Born To Lose You”, which is set to arrive in a couple of months, will be the band’s first studio effort since 1998’s 99th Dream, and first single “Setting Sun” is a lovely piece of blurry heaviness.
