Born in 2013 and rooted in Portland, Oregon, Drowse is the solo project of musician Kyle Bates. Blending slowcore, ambient textures, shoegaze, and dream pop with memory-forward lyrics, Drowse crafts intimate soundscapes that invite listeners into personal landscapes. Over the years, Drowse has built a dedicated following through atmospheric records, a residency in Iceland, and high-profile commissions tied to live performances.
