Wisconsin-based band Asparagus ruminate impactfully on nostalgic yearning with the track “DRFTD,” marking their return after a four-year hiatus. A shoegaze-friendly embrace infuses seamlessly within the act’s rock-forward invigoration. Initial vocals plead not to run, warming amidst a textured guitar backing with a fond ’90s throwback allure. The laid-back vocals escalate into anthemic bursts of guitar throughout, stirring especially around 02:35 as they assume a more soaring character. “DRFTD” is a fantastic return from Asparagus.
