Driftwood Manor's latest album, Dominican Black Abbey, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that transport the listener to another time and place. The album is a mix of traditional folk and gothic-inspired tracks, with each song featuring intricate instrumentation and poetic lyrics that draw the listener in.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "The Last Pint," a melancholic tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through the dark and mysterious world of Driftwood Manor, with standout tracks including "The Death of Love," "Black Abbey," and "The Lighthouse Keeper."
One of the most striking aspects of the album is the band's use of traditional instruments, such as the mandolin, fiddle, and accordion, which give the songs a timeless quality. The vocals are also a standout feature, with lead singer Eddie Keenan's rich, emotive voice perfectly complementing the haunting melodies.
