The-Drum
This Chicago duos name is almost certainly a play on R&B hitmaker The-Dreams alias, but aside from twitchy trap snares, finger snaps, and gauzy cloud-rap hallmarks, the similarities end there. Sounding like theyve sampled the quietest bits from Kate Bush records and grafted them on top of booming 808 patterns, The-Drum revel in contrasts; their debut LP, out June 25 on Audraglint, pulls together fleet footwork rhythms, new age synths, percolating R&B, and faded trap-rave into a bewitchingly hi-def hybrid.（by Spin）
