Two bass guitars, a violin and the ethereal vox of Mimi Goese. Released in 1988,on Brian Eno’s label, Opal Records, and produced by Michael Stipe, Drum succeeds in sounding out of time. Autumnal, haunted, and more akin to incantation than album, its nine tracks exist on a plane of twilight ambience. Restraint and minimalism as aesthetic.
