Dropper - Waste of Time [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Every creative I know eventually asks themselves ... Is this all a ‘Waste of Time.’ The answer is no of course, because art is always a worthwhile endeavor, but when you are out there on the road and battling to make your mark while trying to find a passionate audience, it can feel that way. The up and down emotions of trying to make a living from your passion is a struggle that leaves all artists feeling depleted from time to time and this song taps into all of that. But the track is far from a drag as it expresses these emotions in an engaging and entertaining fashion. ”

Dropper - Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley [Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Some songs have a life, or at least aura about them that takes on its own personality and demeanor. ‘Memoirs Of A Working Bowling Alley’ certainly had that for me. The track from Dropper reminded me a bit of Sheryl Crow’s ‘All I Wanna Do’ in its wry perspective of a world full of people plugging along in their own way. The sound is a bit grittier here (in a good way) and perhaps more honest in its approach, but both tracks have true heart to them.

Frontwoman Andrea Scanniello shared her thoughts about the track. ‘We recorded “Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley” and the rest of our debut album with Andrija Tokic at the Bomb Shelter studio in Nashville. I’ve spent my entire adult life working in various service industry jobs- some more soul sucking than others. One of these jobs was spraying bowling shoes at the local lanes. “Memoirs” is about working these types of jobs and how at times it makes you question humanity and never want to speak to a soul ever again; that emotional drain that can only be experienced when you’re dealing with shitty drunk people night after night.””
