The Drums became the buzz band of summer 2009 with the irresistible Summertime! EP, and their self-titled debut album arrived a year later with the song that generated all the commotion. The Drums makes it even clearer that the band isn’t afraid to be pop with a capital P, and that the Drums know and love every trick in the pop handbook. The album is drenched in glossy reverb and awash in handclaps and harmonies, all of which help unite the band’s fetishes for spindly ‘80s indie guitars, innocent ‘50s melodies, and tinny drum machines and synths. As immediate as the band†s songs are, their workings are interesting in their own right. The way the Drums juxtapose the heightened emotions of †50s and early-†60s pop with the often-jaded moods of post-punk and indie is fascinating. The way their riffs borrow equally from Buddy Holly and the Smiths shows that the jangly simplicity of those styles isn’t so far removed after all. The Drums' sound is still distinctive, and even if the album feels a little calculated at times, it’s still greater than the sum of its parts.
