Mine by Blue Navy
"The 20 Best Dreampop Albums of 2016 (Jan/Jun) - Rank #17" - Shoegazer Alive 9
"This is a strong debut with a lot of promise... there are some absolutely excellent songs on this album and I foresee Jake Dryzal is gonna do some great stuff as Blue Navy." - Chad Murray, Echoes and Dust
"Mine is a nice piece of atmospheric music that should be enjoyed by anyone familiar with the idioms of dream pop or post-rock. The formula is simple, but the execution captures all of the proper feelings and textures. It’s a dark and enveloping but entirely cathartic experience." - Mike Marlow, KnowMoreMusic
"“Mine” is an album that blends acoustic balladry with sweeping electronic overlays almost orchestral in nature. The result is a soundtrack for moody escapists, music du jour for the disaffected and misunderstood." - Bruce Siwy, Our Town Amped
"Amid the chaos in which we live, separate time from your day and taste this little pearl, your soul will thank you." - Renato Malizia, The Blog That Celebrates Itself
*Featured in GAZER Magazine and Johnstown Magazine*
"Mine" is Blue Navy's official debut LP. The dream pop/slowcore record is a concept album revolving around heartbreak, lost love, dreams, and lust. Heavy reverberation, melodic guitar riffs, and a vocal delivery that blends into the album's lush walls of sound make "Mine" a truly artistic and beautiful experience that you will never forget.
Here it is, guys. The official debut album of Blue Navy. I just want to thank all the countless musicians who have influenced me over the years, all my amazing family members and friends who supported me, and to all of my fans across the world. It really means a lot to me that people have supported and continue to support my music. I hope that this album does you well. :)
- Jake

Blue Navy is the former slowcore alias of Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Jake Dryzal. Influenced by ambient, ethereal wave, and post-rock, Blue Navy's album trilogy (2016's "Mine", 2017's "Ours", and 2020's "Yours") features reverb-drenched guitar melodies and dense synthesizer pads, guiding Dryzal's somber lyricism. Jake currently records under the folk rock pseudonym Great American Racer.
