The-Drum “Sirens”

18 Apr 2013 — Parker Bruce

On June 25, Audraglint will bring us The-Drum's album, Contact. First track "Sirens" eschews the usual employment of, well, sirens in songs as a crowd-pleasing device and instead gets to the matter of what sirens really signify, and the hysteria that comes along with that. Sirens don’t always mean party people or "all about the wetness here. AMAZON JUNGLE RAGER". The track is like Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" or "Work It", minus Missy with some nibbling morse coding and the infamous Harry Potter screaming mandrakes added for good measure. It's parsed out Missy, though, as we know, her songs are already pretty darn deconstructed thanks to the work of Timbaland.
