Hey, happy 2014, dear TMT readers! If you’re anything like me, you’re probably barricaded inside your shitty apartment right now, using your oven to stay warm, listening to the music from Twin Peaks on repeat, and trying not to think about how you don’t have any coffee or cigarettes on-hand while the full polar fury of the Norse gods of old rages outside, prohibiting you from leaving the goddamn premises. Sound about right? Yeah… what we need right now is a HOT slice of cherry pie-style news before we all start hallucinating…
But oh shit, what’s THIS? I think it’s… it’s… Kevin Drumm! It’s all a little hazy, but I think he’s walking into the room in reverse and backwards-talk-announcing the release of a new cassette on Editions Mego! His words are a little hard to make out, but here’s the gist: appropriately titled Shut In, the thing is coming our way on February 18 and is described on the Editions Mego site as, simply, a “beautiful piece of Easy Listening for Cabin Fever courtesy of Kevin Drumm.” The cassette edition is limited to 250 (you can pre-order it now), but it comes with some sweet “archival artwork from the artist himself.” And don’t worry; there’s also a digital version if you can’t get your hands on the physical thing. Also, more good news! He says they’re going to start making that gum you like again.
Somethin’ tells me we’re gonna be alllll-right, readers!
