The Drums – Portamento (2011)

Beach pop­pers The Drums are back after their self titled debut from last year with news of some fresh new tracks and details from their sec­ond full length release com­ing this fall. We really enjoyed their set at Coachellathis year and can’t wait to hear what’s new in the next few months.
The next few offerings repeat the urgent formula of great bass, simple melody lines and the sweet, hushed pleading vocals of Johnny Pierce’s lyrics. They also almost all start identically too, meaning that by the time Johnny does chime in with his nostalgic musings he’s already playing catch-up with our wandering attention.
