I'm a sucker for classic bluesy doom, ask anybody. Spirit Adrift is the best doom of the year and almost unbelievably the whole thing is written and recorded by one guy. Listening to this is a true testament to how technology has enabled us to learn anything, to create anything as long as we have the requisite passion. I should subtract points because I value teamwork and compromise but this record is just too good to not cherish the vision of the one guy, Nate Garrett. There are hooks and riffs on here that easily rival the latest from Pallbearer, a group of gents at the absolute top of their game. As far as I know this record flew well under the radar of awareness this year and it's a damn shame because rolling down the road with Chained to Oblivion thundering was good fun.
