Open House

driver drive faster are a new band from manchester, but you wouldn't necessarily tell. this masterful debut album presents a rich, timeworn sound that exists somewhere between americana and spectral indie rock. it's crafted song-writing at its best, hinging on stirring chord sequences and moments of fragile beauty. named 'open house' and recorded in the shared digs in which the entire band reside, the album was a labour of love begun in late 2009, poured over in 2010 and set for release in 2011. the result is a lush, layered record that slowly draws you into its world. think mercury rev's 'deserter's songs' for a new generation.
