Summertime!

The Drums

Whistling hooks and 1950s surf-pop aesthetics masking deep urban isolation. Reverb-drenched indie rock for the end of a long, lonely August.

It's like The Beach Boys if they grew up in a basement in Brooklyn and were really, really sad.

A bright, shimmering facade of summer fun that barely hides a core of deep, romantic yearning.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The infectious, high-pitched whistling melody that defines the hook of Let's Go Surfing.
The transition from the sparse, rhythmic verses to the lush, wall-of-reverb chorus in Down by the Water.
The driving, post-punk bassline that anchors the otherwise breezy Saddest Summer.
