We had been wondering for a while when The Drums were going to release their debut full length – now we know: June 8 (digital version), August 10 (vinyl), September (CD). The band hit the NYC scene like a sandstorm in the summer of 2009 soon after moving here from Florida, gaining almost instant buzz in the local music blogs. Their uplifting, minimalistic pop songs, and their melancholic lyrics often recalling memories of Floridian summer and sunny beaches, are a perfect sonic appetizer for anybody’s upcoming summer vacation. The Drums are currently touring Europe, and it looks like the buzz followed them there – their two shows in London on June 8-9 sold out.
