We first came across the music of Dråpe in 2013 when this band from Oslo released their first album called ‘Canicular Days’. The band whose name means ‘a drop’ in Norwegian, has defined its music as ‘indieshoegazepostrocknoise’ and has listed Sigur Rós, Slowdive, Flaming Lips and Beach House as their influences. In their debut album there was emphasis on both the hypnotic and the noisy aspect of the music. The instrumental parts in the debut album were loud and experimental thus creating a welcomed antithesis with the ethereal female vocals (i.e. ‘Sister’s Eye’, ‘I Wanted You to Stay’, ‘Hike’). Both the instrumental parts and the vocals had equally important roles to play in the overall atmosphere of ‘Canicular Days’ and at times they blended in such a way (i.e. end of ‘I Wanted You To Stay’) that it seemed impossible to tell where the vocals stopped and where the instruments began.
