RA.165 Drums Of DeathScottish producer Drums Of Death demonstrates the art of noise on this week's RA podcast.
Think Scottish electronica and what comes to mind? The chart bothering exploits of minor celebrity Calvin Harris? The sample-heavy electro house of "will-he-ever-release-a-second-album" Mylo? How about the early electronic moments and twee vocal stylings of Belle & Sebastian? Colin Bailey, AKA Drums of Death, is the snarling antithesis of all of those that have come before him: intense, raucous and a touch confrontational, Bailey has been an oft-discussed force for the last 12 months now, thanks to his frenetic live shows, chumminess with electro trash queen Peaches and, of course, the "voodoo-zombie" persona he adopts every time he climbs on stage.
Hailing from Oban, a small fishing village on the west coast of Scotland, Bailey promptly upped sticks and headed to Glasgow during his late teens. It was in his twenties, and time in Glasgow, that Bailey’s thirst for live performance was quenched through an involvement in hardcore and punk bands, before eventually turning his hand to solo electronic experiments, and moving to London.
Bailey aligned himself with the Berlin-based Greco-Roman imprint late last year who released the aptly titled Drums of Death Steps Into the Ring EP which will be followed by a full-length album though the label at the beginning of next year. It has been in the live arena, though, where Bailey has caused the most carnage; touring with Hot Chip and Peaches and appearing at a multitude of dingy low-ceilinged basements and festivals. Speaking which, Bailey plays the Bloggers Delight at Field Day this Saturday which will be the next opportunity to catch his rambunctious live show. For his RA podcast, Bailey throws together a heady concoction of crunchy electro and full-bodied techno into the blender; garnished with warped sample snippets and plenty of wtf!? moments, which would be best enjoyed with a can of Iron Bru at the Sunday dinner table. That's our take at least. MORE...
