The Drums cashed in early on the recent indie beach-pop trend with "Let's Go Surfing." To accentuate the point, The Drums will be opening for Surfer Blood this fall, another band that rode the waves of a massive water anthem, "Swim (To Reach The End)." But The Drums may be more than a one-trick pony, or at least that is The D Man's first impression after listening to some of the new tracks from the band's anticipated self-titled debut. With strains of New Order, The Smiths, and the Cure, the band's synthy and glossy spaces are both minimalist (see "I'll Never Drop My Sword") and filled with hooks (see "Best Friend"). For maybe the biggest summer glow on the album, enjoy the video for "Forever and Ever (Amen)" below. Randy Travis would be proud.
