Sumac
Before You I Appear
2016 Thrill Jockey

Following the release of their acclaimed album What One Becomes in June of this year, SUMAC return with Before You I Appear, a limited 12" EP featuring 30 minutes of remixes from UK techno artist Samuel Kerridge, Bleed Turquoise (aka James Ginzburg of recent Thrill Jockey signees Emptyset), noise icon Kevin Drumm and Japanese catastrophic noise metal group ENDON. The results range from impossibly dense and perpetually ascending psych-noise blowouts, to subdued passages of subtly curdled drones punctuated by disembodied vocal excretions. UMAC are the powerhouse trio of Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom, Mamiffer), Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists) and Brian Cook (Russian Circles, These Arms Are Snakes). Before You I Appear is pressed on virgin vinyl with a free download card, limited to only 1,000 copies worldwide.
