I've been following that for a while and it's hilarious. I want them to do Nondor Nevai, Tom Smith, and Weasel Walter.

Recently acquired:

Twinkle Toes - in the same vein as "Just Lay Down and Forget It" track (very quiet, wandering) and a nice release

The Whole House - very atmospheric, seems very straight forward surprisingly.

The Kitchen - a great new classic album, highly recommended

some words about Kevin's tape on cardinal records can be found here:

Here’s the thing about Kevin Drumm‘s Electronic Harassment. It’s designed to provoke a reaction. Look no further than the title. It is relentless, aversive, and aggravating. When I play this, my roommates come in and argue tooth and nail that what I’m listening to is not music, that it has no point, and that it simply shouldn’t exist. I don’t blame them. If this didn’t have the authority of Kevin Drumm behind it, I wonder if there would be anybody around to love it. On side A, a piercing tone and thin feedback fuzz occupy the entirety of the composition, which evolves subtly over its course. It lives up to its title, in the sense that it sounds like it was designed to keep youths from loitering in grocery stores. Something fascinating happens when you listen to it for long enough at high enough volume – to a greater extent than many releases, it provokes an intense emotional anger, specifically annoyance. A necessity for those early mornings getting dressed for a long day at work – especially on a sultry summer day without A.C.! But seriously, there is something fascinating and impressive about music that can provoke the type of intense reaction that this tape does. In a world of tapes where drone is largely designed to “chill out” to and noise has become so homogeneous as to largely lose its sense of catharsis and ultimate release, a tape like Drumm’s stands out. I don’t know if I like it, but there is certainly something to it. By contrast, Side B is less predictable, abruptly shifting from block of sound to the next, resulting in these seemingly random sonic vignettes, but the high frequency schtick is a recurrent motif. Since the high-frequency chirps grow more frustrating the longer they are held, this strikes me as the more charitable side.

From Tom Smith's TLASILA blog:

Update #2: in a world littered with trios, the gut-punch trifecta: Aaron Dilloway, Kevin Drumm and I will be touring and recording together sooner than later in a new ensemble we'll be calling __________! (Too early to reveal the name, but we have it.)

Yowza...

[mudd]

i don't suppose he mentioned if the tour would be in europe or the US?

i'm guessing probably europe. fuck.

No clue but Tom Smith doesn't leave Germany frequently anymore so I'm thinking Europe as well. He played a few gigs there with Dillo recently and recorded too so I'm looking forward to hearing those duos on his KSV imprint eventually I'm sure.

EDIT: Seems the group name is Psychotic, as Om Myth announced today in colorful fashion.

Don't know for the other dates, but this one seems to be a duo with Thomas Ankersmit.

[This is PRE]

Either way, I'm in Canada and sadly will miss all of those -- I'm fairly confident though that Om Myth will record all the Psychotic gigs and release something on KSV.

[Lucio Capece]

Hello. Just to say that the concert offered on Tuesday the 16th of October was performed by Kevin Drumm together with Mika Vainio, Axel Dörner and myself. We do the music together and the group has not my name. The evening was organized by the label PAN in collaboration with Club Transmedialle and Berghain. Thanks for informing about this concert and the others. best. l

[mudd]

i copied the dates from recreational panick, i guess there was some confusion over the credit. i hope the show went well, would very much have liked to see that quartet perform.

[Lucio Capece]

Thanks Mudd. I just wanted to write the correct information. All the best. l
