Graham's debut solo effort, Live Drums
lies somewhere near the boundaries of
the Instrumental Hip Hop genre. As the
title suggests, each song on the album is
shaped by Graham’s drum set performances
- which are inventive and creatively recorded.
The dark, contrasting layers of synthetic and
sampled sounds make the record an engaging
listen. Compositionally, this album is influenced
by DJ Shadow, Portishead and The Gaslamp
Killer, among others.
