\"Lord
Lord Kesseli & The Drums self-titled EP available digitally and on vinyl.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The exotic and original duo out of Switzerland, Lord Kesseli & The Drums, have released their debut self-titled EP available on Bandcamp<\/a> as a digital download and on vinyl through Zurich record label Ikarus Records. \u00a0Lord Kesseli & The Drums put out a sound so thick and heavy with texture; so big that you’ll be in denial that there is only two instrumentalists that make up the band. \u00a0Multi-instrumentalist Dominik Kesseli and producer\/drummer Michael Gallusser have put together a surreal and epically original sound using pre-produced samples of drums, guitar, bass and synthesizers in which they perform along with to create amazingly orchestral soundscapes.<\/p>\n

The debut self-titled EP was heavily inspired by the cinematic music of Sigor Ros but also shows the bands akin taste in the writing and musical geniuses of Bradford Cox of Deerhunter\/Atlas Sound. They could be categorized as shoegaze, Kraut, cosmic rock but their sound, style, and form is a uniqueness of it’s own. Dominik Kesseli described their sound as, “slowed down electronic club music, or in other words synthetic Science Fiction sound worlds with analogue raging textures.” \u00a0He goes on to state that his intent for this EP was to create, “an emotional roller coaster, illustrating humanity’s desperate hope for sense in a senseless world.”<\/div>\n
