Background
About Bermuda Drain's musical style, distinctive feeling and setting, Fernow said:
"Upon a recent tour of Europe, I was constantly listening to minimal techno on headphones, driving at night through tunnels, and exhausted all of the records I had brought with me. The album is meant to satisfy that feeling. I've always felt connected to landscapes, moving through them, and their linear nature. Time passing. Watching as the world rolls over you while being divorced from it. The visual essence of feedback is a thin line, just like the structure of the landscape."
Concept
From lyrics, Bermuda Drain abstractly chronicles the protagonist torturing and killing someone baited into meeting them, yet still featuring descriptive and near psychedelic imagery and scenery. As with all of Dominick's albums that feature lyrics, his mother and writer Jean Feraca assisted with lyrical content and narratives.
