8 Tracks: Of Drone Pop – documenta
Documenta are a Belfast-based drone pop septet (that word still doesn't look right no matter how long I look at it. Septet. Septet. It's just getting worse now).
Their new album 'Drone Pop #1' is influenced by "the English guitar minimalism emanating from 1980s Rugby, the darkness and light of Detroit’s hit factory, and the German Kosmische set’s concrète groove." As you might be able to tell just from reading that, it's a real trip.
We got Joe from the band to give us his 8 Tracks of… you guessed it.
'Drone Pop #1' is out now on Touch Sensitive Records.
I guess drone pop can be whatever you hear, but for me it is minimal chords, melody and repetition, and in this track I hear a classic of melody and repetition.
