When we received an unassuming mail-out from Oakland 8-piece DRMS (pronounced drums), nothing could prepare us for the rich musical treats contained within. Fronted by Emily Ritz, DRMS stay just on the right side of jazzy. Intricate, imaginative instrumentation, gorgeous group vocals … they’re as thrillingly contemporary as they are traditional, an enticing mix. Their John Vanderslice-produced, self-titled debut is available now via their Bandcamp page.
