The Drowners — Karaoke Alone

The Drowners are back with their debut full length, Karaoke Alone.

There’s a tone and ensemble dynamic here with a palpable English influence, or is that Pulp-able? It’s ten songs that really don’t let up in terms of pop sensibility and drive for the duration with singer Hugo Bartsch’s voice floating effortlessly throughout. Heavier, harsher moments are balanced with the more intimate and basically, this album just feels reassuringly solid, both sonically and musically.

Karaoke Alone is the RTRFM Local Feature for the week starting February 9th, 2026.
