When the Drin released “Tigers Cage” two months ago, they promoted it as the lead single from a new album called Elude The Torch. Now we have details on the LP, which is dropping in just a few weeks, and we get to hear its title track. “Elude The Torch” finds the gnarled and murky Cincinnati seasoning some propulsive classic rock with a gloomy post-punk approach. The results are grimy but fleshed out with all kinds of gorgeous instrumentation — an interesting tone and texture from one of the Midwest’s most rewarding indie bands. Listen below.
