April And The Drift – In A Prayer

April And The Drift introducing new single, “In A Prayer.”

April 2020: Danish indie rockers April And The Drift recently released a brand new single, “In A Prayer.” What’s special about this release is that it’s actually quite personal for April and her bandmates, who are very connected with their environment and the place they call home.

The track begins with a deep, ancestral sound, almost like a cosmic whale, calling out from the depths of space. By contrast, the song has a beautiful minimalistic style, based on April’s whispered vocals and guitar arpeggios. The piano parts are also very minimalistic and soothing, using simple open chords to create a powerful aesthetic.

The song’s production reminds of iconic artists such as Portishead or some of Radiohead’s most mellow material. However, there is something quite unique about the this band’s approach, which escapes easy comparisons and genre definitions, in favor of a more powerful personal sound.

The song reveals the group’s diverse range of influences, including acoustic music, pop, jazz, blues, and even hints of reggae. This eclectic combination of genres gives the single a very special touch, which is even more interesting and insightful due to April’s spontaneous and personal lyrics.
