I Lost My Way For Centuries

The Drin — 2026

“The Drin go bigger, stranger, and deeper on I Lost My Way For Centuries, a 75-minute headphone record built to completely disappear inside.”

The Drin go absolutely huge on I Lost My Way For Centuries, a 23-track, 75-minute monster wave of psychedelia recorded in an attic. It is a fantastic put-on-your-headphones album where you can just let the grooves take over. There is a definite late ’60s pull here, but it never feels like revivalism because dissonance is such a firm part of the album’s foundation. Bouzouki, 12-string acoustic, saxophone, harmonica, synthesizers, and layers of electric guitar keep moving in and out of the slow-to-mid-tempo haze, giving nearly every song its own strange little corner to explore. “Ghosts of a Chance” opens the record with tumbling guitars and spiraling sax, while “Moths to the Light” sounds weathered from the start, with harmonica and a steady instrumental drift carrying the track before Dylan McCartney’s vocals rise to almost yell the title, the sax humming behind him. Seven tracks in, “Cannery Action” kicks the drums forward and suddenly the entire record feels like it has found another gear. Much later, “The Cell” locks into motorik rhythms that sound like they could have surfaced on one of John Dwyer’s experimental projects outside Osees. That constant movement keeps this album swirling and is exactly what I love here. I Lost My Way For Centuries sounds road weary, psychedelic, and slightly haunted, but The Drin never stop pushing ahead. It is a record that finds them completely focused and sounding more mature as a band, while creating their best album yet.
