About this album
PHASE 28: Drones is a 16-song album from NEXT, released in 2020. It's electronic and drone music, dark, mysterious and haunting, built on synth, drones and sound effects. The songs run 89 to 160 BPM, in keys like C minor, E minor and Eb minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (piano, bass and synths) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Darren Mark Drew, Brian Burke Reidinger, Brian Joseph Casey, Gavin Franzen Linnihan, Drew J Lerdal, Dana Lorenzo Everett II, Christopher Jeffrey Bartels
