What a glorious day! Kevin Drumm's whopping five disc set on Pica Disc has arrived and what a beastie it is. It contains a 24 page booklet complete with awesome photos of what I think is Kevin's super fancy executive living conditions. Some of the chaps here are complaining about the dog friendly frequencies on the 'Lights Out' disc which is a album of "necro acoustic" material recorded 2006-2008. The compiles a fine balance of new and unreleased material along with some obscure vinyl and cassette only releases. This guy has been doing his thing for a while now and recently it seems that he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. Straddling the boundaries of noise, drone, ambient, treated guitar etc. etc. A unique artist to say the least! This gold embossed set is essential for Drumm followers.
