Sink [1993]
This first release from the Northwest rock trio Floater sets the pace for what would soon become an impressive line of great recordings.
Floater, featuring Robert Wynia (lead vocals, bass), Peter Cornett (drums, backing vocals), and Dave Amador (guitar),
united in Eugene, Oregon to put together their own special blend of pulsing tribal beats and catchy melodic vocals to create this,
their first full length release. "Sink" is a concept album that seamlessly and theatrically moves through its storyline using a massive variety of sounds from somber strings,
blistering guitar, piano, atmospheric drones and even a bass guitar played with a screwdriver. And all the while layered with hypnotic, powerful and melodic vocals.
This was to define Floater's signature sound for future recordings.
Recorded in Eugene, Oregon with select tracks mixed in Portland by Drew Canulette (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney),
Floaters' "Sink" would soon find it's way to college radio and send the band on their first tour of the US.
"Sink" was nominated to the preliminary level of the Grammy Awards for Best New Album.
Recorded at: Pro-Arts Studio, Eugene, Oregon.
Producers: The Blue Tool, Floater, Drew Canulette.
Floater: Rob (vocals, 12-string guitar, bass, percussion); Dave Amador (acoustic & electric guitars); Peter Cornell (drums, percussion, background vocals).

Alter [2002]
All us monsters think we are divinely born.
With each album that Floater makes, it seems like they are always able to add new elements to their style of music.
This album lives up to that and way beyond.
The blending of hard hitting guitar riffs by Dave, along with the melodic voice of Rob, and the pounding thunder of Pete,
all mix together to bring yet another great album.

Acoustic Live At The Wow CD [2008]
Floater's roots grow in the fertile musical soil of the great Pacific Northwest.
With legendary live performances and two Grammy nominations, the trio produces music that critics have called "the nearest American thing to perfection.
"Singer/songwriter Rob Wynia crafts rhythms and melodies with a unique, skillful blend of passion and precision.
The songs transition from heartbreaking rock wails to beautiful sonic tapestries and back again without missing a beat.
And somehow it always feels exactly right.The prowess of Peter Cornett (drums, percussion)
and David Amador (acoustic and lap-steel guitars) is made powerfully clear in their work here.
Cornett's drum work ranges from tribal, to jazzy to rock and all points in between.
Amador's guitar work shines throughout, like the strange love-child of Andy Summers and David Gilmour, pulling you in and holding you there.
The joy and pain shared by these three in making this music can be heard in every song.
It's no wonder the legion of fans of Floater is growing with every listen.
Floater: Rob Wynia (vocals, acoustic guitar, acoustic bass); David Amador (acoustic guitar, lap steel guitar);
Peter Cornett (drums, percussion, background vocals).
Recording information: The Wow Hall.
