Deep Gloss Oh my goodness! Vinyl copy arrived today! It's all good, but the B side is just incredible! Like Waters, the tracks build and wash over you in a splendid fashion. Wonderful detail in the drum sounds. Another fantastic release from a label of love. Favorite track: Hands.

about

It’s the electronic sound, the synthesizer that usually forms the foundation of Red On. And still: »Drums« does sound like nature somehow. Like a silky haze in the earliest hours or darkness taking over at night. Like weather or nocturnal skies. Like an accidental, organical process that follows a natural lead, barely influenced by human hand. Two acoustic drum sets, which were recorded simultaneously, do give the Longplayer its name. They are coexisting in a strange but harmonic way with the well known spherical sounds of Red On. Not affected by the driven, forward facing drums, the echoes, guitars and drones are filling the room as if they were wandering through magnetic fields.

»Drums« is a collective but heterogenous project in which all parts remain visible. Somehow the songs even seem to contain opposites: Pressure and affection. Warm and cold. Shelter, Loneliness. Freedom and lead. It seems auctorial – like a wide view over a town, a land or a couple of sceneries. A reminder that so many things are happening all at once. It’s because Philipp Dittmar created instrumental shells to let other artists interpret and fill them with their own free associations. Like a story which can be extended endlessly without coming to an end.

– Lisa Neher

I'd like to label this as "desert blues" if only it weren't for the blues missing... So, what about Tuareg dance rock? The liner notes say, this is what a Agadez wedding party sounds like. Well, those are a real feat then! ;-) Carsten Pieper

Klinker
by ZEMENT

supported by 5 fans who also own “Drums”

Five slabs of minimalistic, motorik krautrock. The repetitiveness is key here. C2S feels like a sonic mantra, while C3A is more akin to an aural sculpture - the way the entire song morphs through different polyrhythms over a repetitive guitar motif is just incredible to listen to. This is my favourite zement release to date (2022). Its razor-sharp focus on propulsive krautrock is appreciated, all songs are bangers, and at 31 minutes, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. A perfect krautrock record. Smekermann
