The Ethereal Drains - Hibernation Video

Wow this a real find for me, and takes me right back to the heady days of MP3.com circa 2001. I won't ramble about my love of the old MP3.com here, but I wrote about what it meant to me back in 2003 when the once great site closed down, and if you're interested, you can read it here. I still love the music I amassed during those days, and it still get's many a play on the stereo even now. I've been toying with trying to get in touch with some of the old bands on there to ask them if I could hawk the best of their MP3s here for free and simply for my love of their music. I've not got around to it yet, but I was having a nose around and found this on my first search of the day - a promo video for an old MP3.com band I loved called the Ethereal Drains.

It's fair to say their particular brand of music was very personal. Made in the best lofi tradition, home brewed and itching with passion beyond the abilities of the players. I really loved their long rambling tracks and ragged sound - it was a million times more real than much of the dross that passes for alternative these days. So, it gives me great pleasure to feature one of their tracks here in video format. Hibernation.
