The Drums = Summertime

The Drums must really like summer. They sing about surfing, are trendily retro, and release fun albums of perfect summer jams in time for summer. The Drums just released their self title debut LP on June 7 and it is replete with all the characteristics necessary for summertime fun. Handclaps - check, poppy/shoegazey guitars and synths- check, Beatles-esque vocals about girls and longing - check. Its all there. The songs are upbeat and poppy, but with enough 60's lo-fi throwback and haze to make them worth coming back to. The album is solid all the way through and great for listening to outside this summer. Trust me the album is really good. Below are a couple of my favorites.
