Originally self-released in a micro-edition of 20 copies on CDR (digital by Hospital Productions), this is a welcome vinyl edition of Kevin Drumm's album "Dedicated to my least favorite thing in the world, humidity". Over three extended pieces, "Drumm expresses his irritation through a mixture of field recordings and microtonal drones made in July/August 2012 and transposed with intercepted voice recordings from summer 1995, Chicago. In 'Humid Weather' proper, the piece shifts from dynamic location sounds of a storm in full force, all tipping rain and crackling thunder, before abruptly switching to a lone ghostly peal and underlying bass presence threaded with just-out-of-earshot vocals and segueing back to the richer patina of textured field recordings. Flipside, 'Heat Stress' is a far more cranky, roiling piece of buckling bass shapes and burned-out, sodden motor sounds that gives way to a longer, denser, agitated tract of noise embedded with traces of crying children and prickly, scuttling distortion entitled, 'Humidity Can Suck It"' (Boomkat).
