Dralms is out to consciously subvert pop music

Dralms' spin on "out there" music has been winning over audiences in Vancouver and overseas in Europe.

Christopher Smith first heard experimental music as a kid in the suburbs, vibing out to Brave New Waves on CBC Radio.

These days, his brainchild, Dralms, is winning over audiences in Vancouver and overseas in Europe, with his own spin on "out there" music.

Today he and his musical accomplices play three songs from their haunting and beautiful debut album, Shook.  He also sits down with Shad to discuss making experimental work that is accessible to everyone.
