The Drin are a band out of Cincinnati led by Dylan McCartney. By their very own description, they “seamlessly transport between post-punk, acid guitar jangle, and krautish experimentalism.” They’ve received a brand new album out at present with the eye-catching title Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom; having grabbed your consideration, the album rewards it.
The tracklist maintains a darkish and murky vibe all through, however the actual specs of the Drin’s warped style mix change from observe to trace. As the album progresses, they shift from ragged, percussion-forward post-punk to filthy, hypnotic rock ‘n’ roll to riff-blasted proto-punk to one thing like spaghetti western psych, amongst different classically scuzzy sounds. On “Eyes Only For Space,” they even efficiently attempt their arms at dub. I hear some Liars, some Stones, some Fall, greater than a bit Can, and possibly some echoes of bands I’m now not cool sufficient to recollect.
It’s excellent, so hear under.
Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom is out now on Feel It/Drunken Sailor/Future Shock.
