Bio

Ace Engfer is the voice behind a unique journey through Cosmic Americana—where dusty highways meet starlit introspection. On the new album ‘Time Drifts Away’, Engfer weaves together themes of travel, life’s quiet anxieties, and the echoes of love lost, all with a sound that floats between earthy folk roots and a shimmering, otherworldly atmosphere. With poetic storytelling and a deep sense of wanderlust, Ace Engfer invites listeners to lose themselves in the drift of time, memory, and melody.

‘Time Drifts Away’ will be released on all streaming platforms on June 6, 2025
