Drought Announce Debut Album "Souvenir"

Bay Area post-hardcore band DROUGHT has revealed the details of Souvenir, their debut album, which will be released via Iodine Recordings on July 18th. Alongside the artwork, track list, and pre-order information is the record's first single, "We're The Flora," featuring guest vocals from Pat Flynn of Fiddlehead and Have Heart.

"These lyrics were inspired by a visit to a bouquet art exhibit," says vocalist Viggy Ram. "All of these flowers and plants had been clipped and fashioned into these beautiful structures — giving them a second life as something new. And I think of our relationships with our parents and families. Generational trauma sometimes cuts us off from our histories and identities, but this can also be an opportunity to grow and blossom."

Regarding Flynn's guest vocal, he says, "It was especially fitting to have Pat from Fiddlehead and Have Heart graciously guest since he's often written about similar experiences. It felt like a comforting sentiment from a mentor or teacher, especially considering his influence on our band."
