The new record, which finds the ex-punk rock drummer exploring dense, interlocking rhythms and unorthodox tuning systems, was recorded in Berlin during the second half of 2016, and features a collaboration with Liars’ frontman Angus Andrew. After the vast, complex arrangements of his previous albums, the 9 recordings on US Drag are relatively more upfront and direct, with a particular focus on bells, tuned percussion and the Sequential Circuits Six-Trak synthesizer (used to create many of the album’s synth parts).
