Biography
Droom was formed in the summer of 2002 by Graham Jackson and William Winslow-Hansen from the many discussions during Jacksons and Winslow-Hansens tenure in aLUnARED. They immediately began working on tracks for their debut album, 128 ½ days. They enjoyed the success of two club hit singles, "While We Can" and "Stay!", and they quickly gained a growing fan base in the underground music scene. The band played a show in San Antonio, Texas as part of a synthpop festival in 2003. The band members continued to spend the majority of their time on writing and recording new material. When 128 ½ days was released, it charted on many online and college radio charts in North America and around the globe. Droom decided to pave its own way in order to bring their music to their fans. When they felt that they had recorded enough material to comprise a 2nd full-length album, Droom formed their own record label to release their subsequent Ten Songs and The Voice of Ghosts albums.
