Drift is the first studio album by American electronic musician Nosaj Thing. It was released on June 9, 2009. A remix of the album, titled Drift (Remixed), was released on November 2, 2010.
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Drift received an average score of 83 based on 7 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".
Mosi Reeves of Spin said, "Nosaj's remarkable, entrancing debut album gathers sundry influences, from U.K. dubstep to Aphex Twin-styled IDM, into a 36-minute computerized symphony." Shawn Reynaldo of XLR8R gave the album an 8 out of 10, saying: "Settling somewhere between Flying Lotus' otherworldly jazz and The Glitch Mob's crunked-up floor-fillers, Drift is an impeccably produced record that sounds amazing in headphones but also has enough bump to hit the dancefloor every now and then."
