CMU Approved
Approved: Drugg
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 13 January 2011
Electronic duo Drugg is made up of Max Whatley, who plays drums, and Tom Hanley, who handles vocals and the numerous other layers of sound that make up their songs. Their debut EP, ‘Shackled’, is due for release via This Is Music imprint Less Music on 7 Mar, featuring three original tracks, plus two remixes by minimal dub producer Pole and fellow electronic experimentalists Visions Of Trees.
The EP’s title track is synonymous of the Drugg sound; overall I can only describe it as “woozy”. Drums judder, as synths and vocals fade in and out of view and are occasionally given a gentle kick by some heavily-distorted guitar. These dense soundscapes are music to get lost in, both due to their enveloping nature and the seemingly endless range of sounds to be found within them. Hopefully they can retain this feel in the live show they are currently developing.
