Album stream: Public Memory – Wuthering Drum
Ahead of release this coming Friday March 18th on felte, Brooklyn-based Public Memory has shared his debut album ‘Wuthering Drum’ in full today. He will be playing live throughout the next week, including a show at SXSW.
Public Memory is the solo project of Brooklyn’s Robert Toher, recorded over the course of a year as he lived in Los Angeles temporarily. Previously of the groups ERAAS and Apse, Toher places a greater emphasis on electronics in this new project. Rhythm is at the forefront, with the tone informed by stripped down, narcotic impressions of krautrock, hypnotic percussion, and subtly layered atmospherics.
With an unintended nod to trip hop luminaries, Public Memory’s music has a distinct urban sensibility, conjuring clouded lights, foggy glass in empty buildings, urban wraiths.
Wuthering Drum will be released in March 18, 2016.
