The Drums Release Comeback Single 'Money'

The Drums - Money by WorkItMedia

Out of nowhere comes the new single from The Drums, who made quite an impact last year with their self-titled indie surf-pop debut. In recent interviews, frontman Jonathan Pierce commented that the 2010 album was 'naive'. This new track, 'Money', definitely shows the band's response to this, and the result is a less cheesy, more understated track, which still retains the immediacy of their earlier work.

There's several new additions to this latest offering; as well as the presence of minimal new-wave style synthesisers there's also some brass towards the end, further suggestive of a more 'mature' direction. Look out for the new album 'Portamento' due September 12th. Here's the tracklist:


'Book Of Revelation'
'Days'
'What You Were'
'Money'
'Hard To Love'
'I Don’t Know How To Love'
'Searching For Heaven'
'Please Don’t Leave'
'If He Likes It Let Him Do It'
'I Need A Doctor'
'In The Cold'
'How It Ended'
