THE DRUMS
Just released - the debut album of Brooklyns indie band The Drums!
really like their style... already fell in love with "Let´s Go Surfing" which came out last year,
check out the video... will start listening to their album now for the next couple of weeks!
here´s what the rough trade shop says...:
the drums have a fresh, sparkling blend of '80s pop (reminiscent of a simpler stone roses) and '50s / '60s surf / beach style with a dreamy, but not overdone, reverb that swims throughout the whole album. the quartet pump out spiky post-punk jams spiced up with whistling, schoolyard chants, eighties synths and so much joyous hand clapping, you'd think you were at a high school pep rally. each track is a golden pop nugget with energy that is explosive. the hooks are simple and obvious, yet each song sounds so fresh and perfect.
this is about having fun;
this is about falling in love;
this is about falling out of love;
this is about wanting to fall back into love,
but always remember, this is about having fun.
