I thank Zach Frizzell<\/a>, AKA zak\u00e8<\/a>, or putting me in touch with Drew. After Zach shared his mix on Soundwave (you can and should listen to it here<\/a>), I asked him who he knew who might also want to guest deejay on Soundwave. Zach recommended Drew, who also records under the monicker Slow Dancing Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Drew is a Washington-based musician\/producer and nostalgist extraordinaire. If ever there was an artist who truly expressed themselves in a way that defies everything music and art expect and, at times, demands, then Slow Dancing Society would be that artist. As with Brian Eno\u2019s finest moments and David Sylvian\u2019s ambient explorations, Drew\u2019s music manages to dissolve its temporal markers and speak about moments removed from time.<\/p>\n\n Drew, in his modesty, didn\u2019t include his own music in his mix. However, I strongly recommend you purchase his latest album, Do We Become Sky?<\/a><\/em> Drew suggests experiencing the album in its 86-minute entirety, as it\u2019s a spiritual successor to Priest Lake Circa \u201888<\/a><\/em>. This album is inspired by the namesake location, evoking visions of childhood freedom and innocence, family road trips through northern Idaho, and a yearning for a simpler past.<\/p>\n\n While I\u2019m at it, I urge you to pick up Live Improvisations<\/a><\/em>, which came out earlier this year. The album features Chihei Hatakeyama<\/a>, Hakobune<\/a>, zak\u00e8, and From Overseas<\/a>. Oh, and listen to From Overseas\u2019s mix for Soundwave here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Join us again next week when out guest deejay will be\u2026 me!<\/p>\n\n See you then.<\/p>\n\n![\"Drew](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/josephaleo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/photo_drewsullivan_1080x1080.jpg?w=525\")
