$28.00 IN STOCK II is the second album by drum experimentalists Simon Popp and Florian König aka 9ms. Following up on their debut Pleats (SQM 008LP, 2021), the Munich-based musicians further expanded their toolbox of synthesizers, effects, and tonal percussion to create a dark and dense fusion of trip hop, krautrock, and dub.

9MS	Pleats	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 008LP
$25.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL 9ms is the duo of Simon Popp and Florian König. On their wide-ranging debut album Pleats the tech-savvy drummers offer grooves from the dubbier realms of world music and krautrock -- some meditative and light, some thick as wall and steady as a clock. The album was recorded live in a large wooden hall in the Bavarian Alps with only three microphones. Using various infrared and magnetic field sensors, Popp and König were able to translate their movements into control voltage, which they then used to trigger and tweak synthesizers and a myriad of effects. A way for two humans to become one with their mystic machinery. Includes poster and download code.
