Abysmal thoughts

Description

JONNY PIERCE OF THE DRUMS IS BACK WITH AN IRRESISTIBLY POP ALBUM AND STILL AS SUNNY "The hit potential of The Drums is still very much present" Les Inrocks With Abysmal Thoughts, the founder of The Drums, Junny Pierce creates the album he has always carried in his heart. Of course, we are talking about The Drums so this heart is inevitably broken but there is beauty and even happiness in this type of broken heart, as well as a certain kind of glorious delirium that could knock you down in an instant but also make you rise triumphantly the moment after. In Abysmal Thoughts, Junny Pierce takes full control: he not only writes the songs himself but also plays all the instruments and brings with him his very personal vision of life. It is therefore not a coincidence that this is one of the most revealing works he has done so far. If Abysmal Thoughts does not sound terrifying at all as its title suggests, Pierce has rarely been so irresistibly pop - and that is because we are dealing here with how to realize what happiness represents when the worst has already happened: "If there is one thing I can count on, it's the healing power of being an artist," he says. "I have fallen in love with music again." For fans of: The Smiths, New Order, Vampire Weekend, Diiv, The Beach Boys...
