Water Damage releases Repair, a new minimalist drone album

The Austin-based musical collective Water Damage has released their latest album, titled Repair. The ensemble, which consists of approximately twelve core members and various guests, utilizes a minimalist, noise, and drone approach to music.

Building on the immersive traditions of 1960s minimalism, the group performs in unison at full volume to create enveloping soundscapes. The new record, Repair, is described as the collective's most melodically dense and unruly work to date. The tracks typically feature core melodies played on loop, often beginning with syncopated drum rhythms and layered with various melodic voices, ranging from classic rock riffs to fiddle tunes.
