After a 30-year hiatus, the Drop Nineteens pay tribute to their revolutionary style in a comeback album.

Quickly after becoming early 1990s shoegaze darlings, Drop Nineteens disbanded. Now, 30 years later, they return with a renewed purpose and a new album.

Drop Nineteens talk about their return after 30 years and their eagerness to meet the fans who’ve discovered their work in the decades since.
