Com Truise drifts on the ether

One thing we definitely never get sick of is retro ’80s tunahahahah sorry, couldn’t finish that sentence without laughing. However, Com Truise is a dude who gets it done right: sure, his new single ‘Ether Drift’, off his recent Galactic Melt LP, sounds like something you’d hear around the third level of Rad Racer, but it sparkles in a way that says that this is more than just a rehash. The single (which you can download here) comes to us right as the New Jersey musician prepares to leave for a pretty damn long tour, so while you listen to it, check these dates and see if you’ll be hearing it live:
