Chicago noise artist Kevin Drumm will release a new album through Editions Mego on November 5.
The album, entitled Relief, was recorded earlier this year at Drumm’s own Worse Than Burning Offal studio. It arrives some 10 years after Sheer Hellish Miasma, widely regarded as his masterpiece and also released on Mego. Since then Drumm has cropped up on Mego here and there, including a 2007 a collaboration with Daniel Menche, as well as releasing a huge array of LPs, CD-Rs, remixes and splits on such respected labels as Hospital Productions, PAN, Hanson, Downwards and Pica Disk.
According to the label, Relief is “a 36 minute hypnotic roller coaster ride through the terrain of [Drumm’s] unique vision. A haunted melody pinned to a bed of nails. A spinning ride through aural spaces […] Extreme yet approachable, a music that demands repeated listens.”
The album is available to pre-order now. That’s the cover art below.
