Weiss / Cameron / Hill - Drumgasm download mp3 album

Drumgasm is a collaborative album by the drummers Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag), Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden), and Zach Hill (Hella, Death Grips, Team Sleep). Recorded by Larry Crane, the album was released on August 27, 2013 through Jackpot Records. Drummer Janet Weiss stated that "friendship and mutual admiration" was the genesis of the project. Prior to the recordings, Weiss proposed renting a studio for a weekend and invited Cameron and Hill, whom she met while touring.
The page also features a lo-rez album cover. Here's a portion of the accompanying bio: Three people, three drum kits, some microphones and a reel of tape – that’s it: pure spontaneity.
The explosive, 39-minute free-wallop Drumgasm is the work of three alt-rock-drumming luminaries making giddy splatter-jazz on three kits: a percussive, improvised Pollock painting that bubbles and shoots off psychedelic sparks. Upon the urging of Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag, Quasi), fellow bashers Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden) and Zach Hill (Death Grips, Hella) joined her in a Portland studio with no notes, no ideas, no prompts - just three drum kits and a stickbag of mutual respect, ultimately creating what Weiss calls a modern, psychotic drum circle.

Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney/Wild Flag) may already have a new album coming out with Quasi, but she’s also readying an LP as one-third of the all-drummer supergroup Drumgasm. The band is Weiss, Zach Hill (Hella/Death Grips), and Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden). Drumgasm is out August 27 via Jackpot. The album has two tracks, both titled Drumgasm and both about 20 minutes long. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?aa?a?a?!?!?! tramampoline.
Possibly the most physically human record of the year.
