Kevin Drumm - S/T

First time on vinyl, Includes Previously Unreleased Materials and Digital Download - Deluxe Double 180 Gram Vinyl, Mastered by Rashad Becker & Pressed at Pallas Germany - Heavy Tip-On Gatefold Jacket w/ Full Color and Textured Embossing. The expanded and definitive double LP edition of Kevin Drumm's groundbreaking first album, originally released in 1997. Featuring some of the most fiercely abstract and organic guitar work ever heard, Drumm's debut is both jarring and completely alien. Dubbed by some as the greatest prepared guitar record ever recorded it prefigured (and continues to trump) almost an entire decade or so of contemporary "out" music that would follow. Beautiful and completely essential. This edition includes an entire fourth side of previously unreleased recordings from Drumm's personal archive, all recorded in the same era as the original album. It also includes entirely new artwork featuring the body of the actual guitar used to record the album.

They say that every kid who heard this record immediately went out and grabbed a busted guitar with a scratchy selector switch, ready to subject their friends to fuzzy pauses of amp hum. I know of at least four." -- C. Spencer Yeh, spring 2010, Brooklyn NY
