The Drums ‎– The Drums

Straight out of brooklyn, 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.
