They're back
The Drums unveil new single, ‘Magic Mountain’
It’s the band’s first new material in three years.
The Drums are back - with a new single and album in tow.
The band - now stripped back to original founding members Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham - have shared new single ‘Magic Mountain’.
Pierce describes the track as “a sparkling reflection of our last three years. It’s about shedding off what binds you and protecting what’s good, finding a safe place away from everyone and everything that wants to destroy you.”
The pair confirm that a third album will follow, but there are not yet any further details on when.
The Drums were last heard with 2011’s second album, ‘Portamento’. Their 2010 self-titled reached Number 16 in the UK album charts.
The Drums tour North America this autumn.
