Slow Drift Year shares passionate new single ‘Hear Me Out’
Emerging from the Pacific Northwest, Slow Drift Year returns with ‘Hear Me Out’, a soaring alt-rock anthem built on vulnerability and drive. Written during a moment of self-reckoning, the track reflects a renewed commitment to chasing long-neglected dreams.
Led by a striking chorus anchored by the evocative lyric “you say you owe it to the wind,” the song captures an emotional turning point with urgency and heart. With echoes of early 2000s alt-rock and emo, ‘Hear Me Out’ blends gritty textures with melodic clarity.
Tracked in Portland, Oregon, the single features self-recorded acoustic guitars, vocals, and drums, with friends lending their touch on bass and lead guitar. The final mix and master come courtesy of producer Sam Pura, known for his work in emotionally charged rock production.
