Straight from the Warm Gospel vaults of TMT’s old Grinder, Top Heavy comes the newest Skyscraper devotional-loop tape, Drums & Hums (D&H). With that home-town feel only a marching band can echo-wave sound past your house, deep in the maze of rural suburbia, Skyscraper maintains a certain nostalgia in sound that’s equal parts nature and nurture. At some points in Drums & Hums (D&H), it sounds as though I’m listening to exactly where Animal Collective would’ve been at this time if they kept on their Feels aesthetic, or like Ariel Pink’s Pedestrian Pop Hits enjoyable monotony. But some of these haunting samples also ring a memory of Friday nights around 9, when the streets were calming down from the activities throughout the day, and homes and shops and porches all are dimly lit, and barely murmuring music or conversations, mingling into a mountain of sound. Skyscraper sits atop these blends of memory and circumstance, and creates Drums & Hums (D&H).
