Ragana + Drowse reveal Ash Souvenir title track from upcoming collaborative release

The forthcoming collaborative album from RAGANA and DROWSE – Ash Souvenir – combines the former’s heavy, emotionally charged metal with the latter’s textural approach to sound.

This return home and the emotions it stirred echoed in Noel’s (RAGANA) own inherited history. Maria laments on the album’s title track, “‘Ash Souvenir’ is a song dedicated to my […]
