カッチリと仕上げられた素晴らしい帯付き装丁!!韓国で育ち現在はシドニーを拠点に活動、ドラムセットを使い大胆かつメロディックなアプローチで国際的な評価を獲得、2023年には10日間で計100時間におよぶソロ・ドラム・パフォーマンスを敢行し、その超人的技巧が大きな称賛を受けたドラマーChloe Kim。即興演奏と緻密なコントロールを融合させたリズムとテクスチャー、そして兎に角スリリング過ぎる予測不能な楽曲構成は、是非大音量で体験して頂きたい内容。今後の音源も非常に期待。









The standard edition of Ratsnake, pressed on 180g classic black vinyl. Packaged in a high-quality jacket with a hot orange obi strip and full-color artwork and artist portrait by Pat Aulisio. B side label features zoetrope by Una Blue. Made with love and created to be played loudly.

Raised in Korea and now based in Sydney, Kim has gained international recognition for her fearless and melodic approach to the drum set. In 2023 she performed 100 hours of solo drumming across 10 days, a “Herculean” feat hailed by The Guardian.

On Ratsnake, Kim makes a bold entry into the canon of solo drumming records. Pairing unflinching improvisation with exacting control, she explores rhythm, texture, and form with striking clarity. The album’s title references a dream her mother had before her birth, invoking the ratsnake—a Korean symbol of strength, resilience, and rare fortune.

Produced by Randall Dunn, Ratsnake reveals the full spectrum of Kim’s dynamic touch and melodic phrasing. It is a record of power, nuance, and vision—announcing a singular new voice in contemporary percussion.
