Work between Miles Gordon and Daniel Bromfield comes as an innovative entry to the world of country music. They include humor and deep meaning in their songs.
This track displays the personal struggle of emotions. Lyrics dig within the complexities of not feeling your best spiritually, giving a bare and truthful insight into these internal wars that are fought. Bromfield’s delivery uses Gordon’s lyrics in unison powerfully, highlighting themes as somberly powerful and equally comforting.
Musically, “Depression Drawer” is anchored with traditional country instrumentation, including guitar and keyboard, which are masterfully played by the duo and their band.

Combining classic country elements with contemporary subject matter makes for good listening. It speaks for the traditional country fans and a new breed of listeners who embrace and appreciate the evolution of country music.
