Surrounded by Drones is the debut album from SoCal shoegaze auteurs Conheartist. The trio of Nathan Najera, Cody Andrews, and Ian Hodges produce dense, atmospheric music with a heavy soul and pop decadence. The six tracks weave influences from Joy Division to MBV, to deliver a compelling EP that stands on its own, as worthy as any. Tight, crisp production seals the deal.
