Drain Mode = ON is one of many stopgap EP releases in between albums from Benn Jordan as The Flashbulb.This EP is interesting for several reasons. First, along with the free, online FLY! EP, Drain Mode = ON acts as a bridge between two very different albums by The Flashbulb, M³ and These Open Fields, employing a more evolved sound and technique, at least equipment-wise, if not conceptually.
