"Despite the band's efforts and a move to a larger label, Spirit Adrift never reached the wide audience they seemed to be courting, often performing in small venues."
"Garrett's decision to retire Spirit Adrift was influenced by a superstitious belief that something awful happens whenever he finishes writing a record for the band."
"As Spirit Adrift concludes, Garrett is exploring new creative avenues, including a Type O Negative homage and a planned solo album."
