Album
Drum is the first release from art rock band Hugo Largo. It was produced by Michael Stipe who also provides backing vocals on two of the tracks and released by Brian Eno's record label, Opal Records, on January 1, 1988. It had originally been released by Relativity Records in shorter form as an EP in 1987. The Guardian included it in a list of 1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die in 2007. It was released in the United Kingdom by Land Records, and reissued by All Saints Records in 2005. Fronted by one of the most intriguing voices in rock and one of the least heard, Hugo Largo's debut EP, Drum, reissued as a full album a short while after the EP, is a mysterious blend of ambient acoustics and a New York art sensibility. Sparse, echo-laden instrumentation of bass, violin, and despite what the press release says some guitar and drums recall the work of the 4AD label and Roger Eno. Hugo Largo Format: Audio CD. Love this album. very underrated band, dreamy sparse sort of sound. Shame they didn't make more albums and really develop their schtick. Highly recommended.
