Minneapolis-based bedroom musician Collin Ward, humbly known as Observer Drift, has quickly garnered attention from music fans across the globe with his captivating chillwave sound. Beginning with the release of his debut EP Colored My Heart Red in December of last year, Observer Drift has quickly become defined for an atmospheric soundscape of guitar melodies, mesmerizing reverb-drowned vocals, and hauntingly beautiful and subtle synthesizers. Since then, Observer Drift has released his debut LP Corridors, as well as a brand new standalone track titled "Hiding Place." The attention is growing, and it's well deserved.

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Collin about the Observer Drift project, how it started, how it has grown, what has influenced it, and what lies in the future. It was refreshing to hear Collin's humble take on the sudden increase in attention, as well as his perceived advantages of being a bedroom artist. After the jump, you can read my full interview with Collin Ward, and after doing so make sure to follow him on both Twitter and Facebook. As well, both his Colored My Heart Red EP and Corridors LP, along with his new track "Hiding Place," are all available on his Bandcamp page for the price of your choosing.
