RESULTS

RESULTS is the debut solo album from 25 (now 26) year old Norwegian drummer, Knut Kvifte Nesheim.

“A collection of fragmented and frissonistic drum solo pieces, recorded over two days in his home in Oslo. The 14 tracks which last between 1 – 5 minutes, are a window into the extreme sensitivity, range and tactility of Knuts’ playing; flipping between wonky rhythmic play, and complex multi-layered sound worlds. Joining an under-saturated history of drum kit soloists before him, RESULTS spacious and subtle approach carves a promising and refreshing place for the drums as a solo instrument in 2018.”
(Greta Eacott)
