DRIN - Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom LP
Limited edition of 300 copies.
Highly recommended.
Anudda Album of the Year contender!
Cold rhythms reverberate through the layers of tape spliced together by Dylan McCartney and his impressive cadre of musical companions. The Drin spawned from a debut cassette edition of 50 on the Future Shock label, since teaming up with both Drunken Sailor and Mangel to issue two LPs. Their loose, careening live unit features members of Corker, Crime of Passing, the Serfs and Fruit LoOops.
'Today My Friend You Drunk the Venom' is the Drin's finest hour as a creative entity. McCartney's incredible command of rhythm lies at the forefront of the mix, complimented by a group that is able to seamlessly transport between post-punk, acid guitar jangle, and krautish experimentalism. There's even a stellar dub track on here. As much as contemporary artists tend to flaunt their affinity for the past - it's entirely worthless to apply such trappings to the Drin. Their genre-expansive abilities and deep knack for rhythm and layering are something entirely new and futuristic. Ohio has never sounded so close to outer space.
"The Drin have consistently danced within a rather decadent realm of underground sound. Sporting Kraut Rock and Industrial flairs with bits of Dub and Post-Punk escapism. However.. the grooves have never been more seductive than on “…You Drunk the Venom”. - Bandcamp comment
"A bit of cosmic garage with a dash of backwoods drone." - anudda Bandcamp comment
