Indie-alternative band Driptones are back with new single “Deprestrian”.
By: Reegan Johnson
Released in late September and following the performance at Playground Music and Arts Festival, group Driptones dropped their newest single “Deprestrian”.
The Gainesville native group is composed of 4 members, vocalist Xander Boggs, bass player Zach Gerbi, lead guitarist Collin Fitzgerald, and drummer Tripp Jones.
With all 4 members being contributing songwriters the group channels the 60s surf-esque music perfectly in this track.
The track is just over five minutes, and carries sad undertones when diving into the lyrics. Yet the lyrics are contrasted with a high energy and nostalgic back tracking.
With lyrics “Think of all the things that I've done gone and helped you along your way, Think of all the ways that I ran at you when I saw your face,” the group confronts the feeling of leaving a relationship but still being haunted by its effects.
The single follows the release of their 2021 EP “Sleeptalker.” The six song release has a song for every alternative-indie fan, with the mellow guitar in “Collins Lullaby” to the ambitious melody of “Way Thru Time”.
Driptones is scheduled to release their next single “Ms. Meaty” in November.
