Limited edition translucent blue 180-gram vinyl. This 2009 LP is the debut album from New York indie-pop band The Drums. Its songs are drenched in glossy reverb and awash in handcl aps 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. They’ve also got a knack for picking singles: “Forever and Ever Amen” has some bite in its beats, but it’s still a perfect soundtrack to a summertime fling; the ultra post-punky “It Will All End in Tears” is the brisk and heartbroken aftermath.
