Cinematic. Ambient. Haunting. Atmospheric. These are some of the words that people have been using to describe Drownbeat; a dark alternative pop/electronica act formed by Chicago-area producer Dan Milligan in 2014. Along with Milligan, Drownbeat features a rotating cast of some of Chicago’s finest musicians and vocalists.

Drawing from influences such as Massive Attack, NIN, Digital Daggers, Depeche Mode and Crosses, Drownbeat’s sound is strongly anchored in moody electronic music; however, the frequent use of live instruments expands the sound beyond the realm of simple electronica. A listen through Drownbeat’s debut album, To Be Something More, reveals layers of subtler influences, such as Slowdive, Porcupine Tree, The The, Zero-7, and at times, Dark Side of the Moon-era Pink Floyd.
