SINGLE PREMIERE: Chris Allan - 'Drowning Season'

Gather round, kids, Irish-Australian singer-songwriter Chris Allan has a tale to tell in the form of his new single, Drowning Season.

A haunting, melancholic tune moved forward by striking percussion and Allan’s wearied vocals, the song was inspired by a Northern English folk tale.

"A small town has lain deserted for over 50 years, and it is said that there were no men living there for a long time before that,” Allan said

“It is said the men became possessed and walked to their deaths in the town's annually flooding river"

It’s the first taste we’ve gotten from the artist's upcoming debut album of the same name, which is set to be released in January next year.
