Drinker – California

Der Tüftler DRINKER meldet sich mit seinem schönsten Song bisher zurück. ‚California‘ ist ein richter Grower, ein wahr gewordener Klassiker. Der Song ist natürlich auf seiner Debüt LP ‚Fragments‚ drauf.

„California“ is a song about leaving the reality I had come to know in New York for what I liken to a mirage, in California. I wrote this soon after arriving in LA, chasing something in music that felt more illusory and artificial than what I had come to know in New York. The California dream, which I think is a certain specific version of the American Dream based in entertainment…was all around me. The way the people try to climb the ladder, with no shame in their methods, made me wonder if I could keep climbing in my tactful way… Over time I have come to embrace the culture of LA that embraces the chase and the display of the hustle, but I wrote this in the early days when what was supposed to be a dream was seeming all too real.
