The Drums Announce New Album 'Abysmal Thoughts', Stream "Blood Under My Belt"

Brooklyn indie rock/pop outfit The Drums have announced the release of their new album 'Abysmal Thoughts'.

The follow-up to 2014’s Encyclopedia will be out on June 16 via Anti-Records, and was recorded by frontman and founder Jonny Pierce, who also wrote all the songs and played all the instruments. Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, Mannequin Pussy) served as engineer.  Pre-order your copy here.

"Happiness can be confusing to me," says Pierce. “It shows up out of nowhere, and before you can even get used to it, it’s vanished. But Abysmal Thoughts? I can rely on them—and with the political chaos that is raining down, who knows when these dark feelings will subside?” . 

The band have also shared the album's first single "Blood Under My Belt."

New Entry: SPINN Unveil New single "Home"

Liverpool indie pop/dream pop/jangle band SPINN have unveiled their summery new single "Home".

About the track, singer Jonathon Quinn explains: “This one’s probably our most shallow track. We went out to create a pop tune with not much meaning behind it, which is different to our other stuff, which usually has some kind of message or secret meaning. You could probably over analyse it if you really wanted to, and hail it as an homage to house party romances or a love letter. But, to be honest it’s just meant to be something that’s good for the ears.”

The song  will be released on 3rd March. Stream it below.
