Album News: John Grand – DRIFT out now on Euphonic Records

 


Euphonic Records proudly presents DRIFT, the new full-length album from John Grand, arriving January 2026. Written over the course of eighteen months, DRIFT captures the creative world John enters when producing, a place where ideas move freely and direction is found through instinct rather than force. The title reflects this process. John drifts through melodies, textures, and emotions until they begin to shape themselves, allowing each track to emerge naturally. This mindset became the heart of the album, resulting in a collection of music that flows with clarity, purpose, and emotional weight. John Grand has steadily built a strong presence within the progressive and trance landscape, known for his detailed sound design, driving grooves, and the melodic touch that defines his work. His relationship with Euphonic continues to deepen, and DRIFT stands as his most complete artistic statement to date. Musically, the album spans energetic progressive rhythms, uplifting trance moments, and the atmospheric depth that has become central to his style. Each track reflects a stage in his journey, shaped by long studio nights, personal shifts, and the evolving flow of life over the last year and a half. DRIFT invites listeners into that same creative motion, offering an immersive experience built on emotion, movement, and the natural pull of sound.
