Drowning Effect Bio
At a time when we are wading through seas of information, Baker (Tracing Figures and Anaura), Spadaro (Morning Spy, Foxtail Somersault, and Tracing Figures), and Loftin (Morning Spy, Foxtail Somersault, and Astral) have come together to create a beacon of sound that reminds us of our humanity, our emotions, and our connection to one another.
Named after the widespread impact of content overload, the San Francisco-based group pulses with the angsty influences of 70s psych bands and 90s alt. rockers: think Blue Cheer and The Stooges meet Jane’s Addiction and Sonic Youth.
Thad Baker (guitar & vox)
Mark Loftin (drums & percussion)
James Spadaro (bass & guitar)
