About this album

PHASE 86: Back Country is a 16-song album from NEXT, released in 2024. It's documentary and drone music, reflective, dark and mysterious, built on electric guitar, bass and drone. The songs run 87 to 161 BPM, in keys like D minor, E minor and B minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, commercials and TV and news promos. Every song comes with stems (drones and guitar) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
