This new video makes me sad. Despite their best efforts to make it all happy, the fact that there's only three of them still makes me feel slightly sombre and doubtful.
Don't get me wrong, I adore The Drums, but I'm past that scene and look right now. I'm going for a far more sophisticated, slick approach. Not vintage bowling jackets, wrecked Levi's as well as the torn up Chuck Taylor's to match... more like tailored suits, a pair of glistening brogues and a can of wax in my hair.
But back to the music, I'm just generally into something more meaningful to be honest. I mean their music is like a summer romance to me. Yeah sure, they make those long summer days by the beach all worth while but as soon as fall kicks in it's all about buckling down with something more true and with better value. I'm sorry, but let's face it, apart from their credible rhythm The Drums don't really have any creativity or unique selling point about them. The majority of their songs last under three minutes and consist of practically the same layout of bass, drums, followed by vocals and then lead guitar. So simple and effective, yet possibly to simple and effective.
Back to the video: yes it's good, but I can see that grief in your eyes Jonny.
Besides, this video is miles better. Plus I love the speech during the intro of the song.
