History: drowning susan began recording in late 2001 as a solo electronic project. EFFECTED LITTLE CHANGE:as the months progressed, the process revealed itself to be one of great sound diversity and the involvement of other individuals on a few tracks seemed to further that end. guest programming, guitars, and bass were soon included in some of the songs. the resulting creation, effected little change, a 13 track cd, self-described as ?dark electro pop? or perhaps garage electronic, reaches for a combination of cinematic drama, mood swings and listenable noise within a pop context. recorded entirely without the aid of a studio or engineer, the music has a raw electronic edge and strong pop presence which makes for a surprisingly accessible sound. THE NATURE OF THINGS: recording is currently underway for dRowNing suSan's second full length release...the emphasis is on a more tightly produced, dancable, and focused approach to the musical presentation....more news to come.
