Drainland is the debut solo studio album by American musician Michael Gira. It was released on June 9, 1995, through Alternative Tentacles. Using spare arrangements recorded in August 1994 at musician Bill Rieflin's Seattle home, the album features contributions from Rieflin and Gira's Swans bandmate Jarboe. The album cover is a photo of a war tunnel in northern France built during the first World War.
Jarboe released her 1995 solo studio album Sacrificial Cake as an accompaniment to Drainland. In April 2017, the record was remastered and re-released together with The Great Annihilator by Swans, which has since been described as an accompanying record to Drainland.
