“Nothing Under A Microscope”
Time to get back to the Drumm Diary. And what better way to dip my toe back in the Kevin Drumm waters than with the shortest release I’ve listened to so far. This is a 5-minute ditty that was released on a compilation in 2024. It is a drone-based track that comes on like a deep and distorted electric guitar chord. Occasional “strums” keep the heavy intensity going. There also seem to be chattering metal crickets, plus a voice (sample?) buried way down underneath. It all ends like a controlled building demolition explosion. I couldn’t help thinking this would be an awesome walk-on piece for a really heavy band to play before they kick off their set. This is so good it has earned the coveted Trapezoid “5 m’s” and it also inspired me to sign up for an annual KD subscription…you should too.
