Bill MacKay recently announced Locust Land, a new solo long player, recontextualising BCMC’s meditative template with trademark songwriting par excellence. Today, the Chicago-based journeyman musician and singer-songwriter is sharing his second single ‘Glow Drift’, a slow-burner on which MacKay locks into a relatable psychedelic groove alongside Mikel Patrick Avery on percussion and Sam Wagster on bass. Intelligence and imagination are the order of the day for these sonic explorers.
MacKay shared: “Glow Drift appeared in this sunny melody and celebratory vibration. A song to lift you. I like the surfy guitars, a hint of joyful release. Like remembering a particular drive with special characters to the sea. The stops and starts of a journey, space for an organ note to linger, then things start galloping again. It jumps.”
