Jeremy Drummond - Old-Time Mountain Music & Other Songs - VINYL LP

Never Met A Stranger's Jeremy Drummond and David Poolman are multimedia artists whose works span drawing, printmaking, photography and film. For 'Old Time Mountain Music & Other Songs', the duo have gathered sonic vignettes embodying the living history of Appalachian folk music. GalaxInch takes us on a quick dip in and out of a barn dance. InchFlying CloudsInch traces a familiar form with acoustic guitar before plunging the microphone underwater. InchDown On A Lonesome-Heavy Hearted HogInch plays like a dusty 45 with a noisy skipping groove, making for a somewhat harrowing meta-listening experience on vinyl. Traditional songs are given disparate treatments. InchlduemaInch is sung by a rough-edged vocal ensemble, while InchBeulah Land/BettyInch is hammered out by a power trio. Released in an edition of 500 with photographs and other archival materials, Old Time Mountain Music is an artefact and object that collaborates with the past in order to document it for the future.Inch -The Wire 422 April 2019 Album Tracks 1.
