Kevin Drumm – Og23

Truth to be told, “Og23” is merely a placeholder for everything else Kevin Drumm has been doing in recent times. If you’re subscribed to the Chicago-based noisenik on Bandcamp (you should be), you might go without an update for a few months before he bangs out a veritable barrage of new releases, each one stranger and more captivating than the next one. These two pieces were released digitally in 2022 and picked up by Christoph Heemann for his Streamline imprint. They sound as if they were written as a score for a 1960s Sci-Fi horror flick, abstract and visceral at once. Mysterious music, some of the best on the planet. Kristoffer Cornils
