About this album
PHASE 75: Investigative Minimal Drones is a 16-song album from NEXT, released in 2022. It's drone music and electronic, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, drone and sound effects. The songs run 86 to 121 BPM, in keys like D minor, Eb minor and E minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Most songs come with stems (drones, piano and bass) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Gavin Franzen Linnihan, Jordan Andrew Eckhoff-Bennett, Drew J Lerdal, Darren Mark Drew, Brian Burke Reidinger, Emily Kristine Bjorke, Christopher Jeffrey Bartels, David Edward Brent
