North Atlantic Drift is the ambient duo of Brad Deschamps & Mike Abercrombie. The two musicians released their first record in early 2012 and are currently preparing their fifth full-length titled Departures, Vol, 1 for release in March 2017. Initially a studio-based project, they performed live for the first time in early 2016 and, after several performances, have developed a live show based around slowly evolving guitar and synthesizer pieces. They also run the Toronto record label Polar Seas Recordings, releasing their own music, as well as CDs and cassettes from other ambient, electronic and drone artists.
