The Drums - Brutalism (April 5, 2019)

New album out on 4/5. Preorders

 

excited, loved Abysmal Thoughts

 

Always excited for new Drums.

 

I had no idea this was coming out today. I always love this band when I hear them but then forget to keep listening for some reason, but I think this is really good, so I'm looking to change that trend.

 

First song reminds me of Baths/Geotic?

 

Dammit I knew there was something I forgot to add before work

 

This is actually pretty good.

 

been spinning this a lot and also the record before this one is sick af too. Rooted in pop, but ultimately really genre-fluid and hard to pin down.

 

Don't love the opening track, but the rest of it is a lot of fun. "626 Bedford Avenue" is so fucking catchy

 

The first track is kind of shit, but the rest is solid. I love the single, and 626.

 

I don't mind Pretty Cloud for what it is, but if the whole album was like that then I would not. Definitely agree about 626 that's the real standout here and the one that gets stuck in my head.
