1.	Consequential Love 02:20	lyrics	buy track
To see you as you are That's consequential love One touch in thirty years but I know another path Reframe, transpose You think it's safe when you slip back home You can't escape the second hands that you owe Case in point: embrace that boy You made a choice To see you as you are That's consequential love One touch in thirty years and that's all you'll ever have They're complete and you're half On a driveway home so you chase the past The hesitation comes around and you laugh, and you laugh and you laugh and you laugh and laugh Case in point: embrace that boy You made a choice, you made a choice And I swear this time won't be the last that I bend back home to you And I swear this time won't be the last that I bend
2.	Oh, Javelin! 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Incandescent shining through the window A cicada carried in a note This reminder of every year that passes In the corner staring like a ghost Every word written with a motive And every scar was singing Faded outline, my shadow sits within it Unafraid and just beginning The years keep passing by unspooling on a further line Every scar and fold erasing No broken bones, no inner panic, so who am I? A patina on the casing Oh, Javelin! Give me faith and carry me on your way Oh, minaret, you remain with your psalm calling out to me It comes in waves of blue and white so last one here, turn out the light It comes in waves of blue and white so last one here, turn out the light Are we so temporary just taking what we carry With every thread a different hue But stitched together, they disappear Fading in and out of view Wake up! Wake up! I can't recall the sun Every day continues dimming The years keep passing by unspooling on a further line Unafraid and just beginning Oh, Javelin! Give me faith and carry me on your way Oh, minaret, you remain with your psalm calling out to me It comes in waves of blue and white so last one here, turn out the light It comes in waves of blue and white so last one here, turn out the light Do you hear it too on a distant line? A tether of some kind Pulled so taut we cannot untie Is this your knot or is it mine? Do you hear it too on a distant line? A tether of some kind Pulled so taut we cannot untie Is this your knot or is it mine?
3.	MacArthur Station 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Come back home! You've been searching for so long And left the ones you know Holding onto an apparition Or was it just a ghost of a promise come and gone? We said "adieu," we said it all Pleated pants and button downs Sing along to the sounds of the common crowd Muted tones and wedding gowns They call to you They say "come back home!" You've been searching for so long I hope you're not alone Taking stock of your apprehensions And these hands we hold We made a promise to ourselves We said "I do," we said enough Pleated pants and button downs Sing along to the sounds of the common crowd Muted tones and wedding gowns I got a one way ticket out of town so I sent you off I sent you off One destination no matter when MacArthur Station at 1:00 AM You found me waiting and you could tell Intoxicated as I might have been You questioned, so taciturn You said "come along for that ride" One destination no matter when MacArthur Station at 1:00 AM At 1:00 AM

about

"With a sonic palette pulling from both classic screamo and post-hardcore, Drought are clearly aiming to capture a certain spirit." - No Echo

DROUGHT believes a better world is possible. The Bay Area band pulls inspiration from their personal lives and the spaces they inhabit, harkening back to the intimate DIY spaces where communities are built and confessional songwriting meets crowds that take part in their emotional catharsis. Their spirited performances have fostered new fans across the West Coast.

The quintet hardcore veterans formed in 2022, pulling from their diverse musical influences and ethnic identities to push a familiar sound in new directions. Although some members spent over a decade away from music, DROUGHT pulls no punches on their debut “EP,” which they recorded with Ryan Ellery (Mom Jeans, Self Defense Family).
