iTunes Review
Where The Drums’ 2010 eponymous debut contrasted early-‘60s surf music with ‘80s Factory Records-flavored indie rock, their 2011 sophomore album Portamento packs up the beach blanket under grey skies for an even gloomier sound. The catchy “Book of Revelation” opens musing on a secular take of the “carpe diem” adage over nouveau post-punk pop. Pierce’s fascination with the afterlife is explored in the minimal “Searching for Heaven” where he croons in a falsetto trill over stark synths. Slight vestiges of the band’s affection for bygone beach tones surface in the upbeat “What You Were.” Here their backing Beach Boy-inspired vocals coo underneath tambourine, saxophone and jangly guitars. “Money” is a similarly catchy ditty with verses that recall early Smiths recordings. Bonus track “What We Had” is a lovelorn serenade trimmed in muted bass, symphonic synths, whistles, and reverb.
Customer Reviews
Again another fantastic album!!
It's The Drums! A modern Joy Division/ Cure, they are in fact one of the best bands ever and this album is a testament to that.
Another GREAT album by The Drums
I like that The Drums have found their musical niche and keep doing what they are doing. The have their own sound, doubtless. A great band.
Great band
These guys are a mix of The smiths and the cure true early 80s musica ....
