User Album Review
The Drums continue to perfect their 1980s-inspired indie pop formula on their latest album, while adding some dark humor to the mix.
In drawing inspiration from cult bands, the Drums are starting to make records for an audience that is looking for something pretty specific—that particular balance of darkness and light, of guitar effects and tight songwriting. On “Abysmal Thoughts,” they do it exceptionally well. The title track is the last song, and it repeats that phrase again and again, Pierce’s voice in a gospel cadence, a cowbell and a slide whistle accenting it, letting a listener know the good will come back again.
There are also the indelible markings of the Smiths all over, especially in the way the songs make room for more complicated basslines and slippery arpeggiated chords than your average rock band.
