The Drums to release sophomore album

Barely a year after the release of their debut self-titled album, Brooklyn surf-poppers The Drums have announced the release of the sophomore album Portamento. It's been described as a subtle change in their sound, no doubt due to their departure of guitarist Adam Kessler converted them from quartet to trio and well as the passage of time. I have yet to witness this change yet but with guitarist Jacob Graham switching to synthesizer, I don't doubt their be some amount of different from their debut.

While no change is readily apparent in their latest single "Money", one thing is clear. It's catchy in that characteristically Drums way with Johnny Pierce's vocals slip-sliding all over his register and just plain good.

Portamento is out September 12th in the UK with a US date forthcoming. Get a taste of Portamento with their first single "Money":
