Orville Peck will release a new EP, Appaloosaon November 14 via Warner Records. The country artist previewed the release with “Drift Away,” a thoughtful and nostalgic anthem.
The song showcases small-town ennui in the post-pandemic era as Orville sings, “Look at the kids riding shotgun roads / In ’21, all the movies closed / High and dry, they got nowhere to go.” He adds, “It’s not about getting out/ It’s about letting go, don’t you know?/ Drift with me/ Drift with me.”
