RAINDROP
Teases Forthcoming Debut Album
With Music Video For New
Psychedelic Mini Opus
BOB DYLAN’S 116TH DREAM
.
.
.
Raindrop is the moniker of Sydney-based Lo-Fi Producer, Miles Devine. Devine has spent the last 5 years embracing isolation; discovering the few benefits social anxiety can bring.
‘Bob Dylan’s 116th Dream’ follow’s previous singles, ‘Only Hope’ and ‘Another World’. It is a sprawling, 6-minute psychedelic mini opus with a pulsating Moog Synthesiser heart.
“Bob Dylan’s 116th Dream explores the constant cycles one goes through that always seem to lead back to the same result, following the heart, not the mind.”
– Miles Devine aka Raindrop

With a couple of EP’s already in the back catalogue, Devine dedicated the entirety of 2016 to writing his full-length Debut album, ‘Mild Meltdowns’, alongside his girlfriend and co-songwriter, Hunter Atari.
Devine then used 2017 to barricade himself behind a wall of synthesisers and tape machines, and take the songs to the most texturally strange paradise he could. His introspective process was sculpted and humanised with a collection of Sydney based musicians that collaborate with Devine in the studio and also play as the live incarnation of Raindrop.
After intense and lengthy amounts of time spent in the studio, super-producer and mix engineer, SPOD, took this collaborative result into his own hands to mix. The only instruction given to him by Devine was that there were no limits to how far he was allowed to take things. The result was a wide array of instrument effects, Linn drums, and a whole bunch of sexy frequencies that define Raindrop’s sound on his forthcoming Debut album, ‘Mild Meltdowns’.
‘Bob Dylan’s 116th Dream’ is a highly sentimental, psychedelic freak-out ballad that embodies the experimental production process of ‘Mild Meltdowns’.

‘Mild Meltdowns’ is scheduled for digital and vinyl release on Friday, 13th July
