deardrums: ep2

The second release from Deardrums on 2MR features three standout originals from Bottin and Leo di Angilla and is made with a serious array of hardware gear. The bril- liantly bespoke ‘Dum Dum’ is fully of trippy jungle heat, with a tough drum riff and cooing vocals all mixed together with wooden percussive hits and frazzled synth lines. It is stuffed with neo-tribal sounds from deep within nature and makes for a terrific opening. ‘Mami Wata’ makes use of acoustic percussion to create a lovably idiosyncratic, poly-rhythmic drum track straight from some ancient tribe. Layered up and increasingly pres- surised, the loose drums make for physical listening and recall the work of Shackleton, amongst others, whilst thick bass really adds to the sense of presence. This track ap- pears exclusively on this EP and won’t be available on the forthcoming album or anywhere else. The last cut ‘Into Darkness’ is a whacked out, machine made and mechanical rhythm that lays its bare bones out for all to see.
