Where The Drums’ 2010 eponymous debut contrasted early-‘60s surf music with ‘80s Factory Records-flavored indie rock, their 2011 sophomore album Portamento packs up the beach blanket under grey skies for an even gloomier sound. The catchy “Book of Revelation” opens musing on a secular take of the “carpe diem” adage over nouveau post-punk pop. Pierce’s fascination with the afterlife is explored in the minimal “Searching for Heaven” where he croons in a falsetto trill over stark synths. Slight vestiges of the band’s affection for bygone beach tones surface in the upbeat “What You Were.” Here their backing Beach Boy-inspired vocals coo underneath tambourine, saxophone and jangly guitars. “Money” is a similarly catchy ditty with verses that recall early Smiths recordings. Bonus track “What We Had” is a lovelorn serenade trimmed in muted bass, symphonic synths, whistles, and reverb.

Mixing Factory Records-style indie and '50s-inspired melodies, the Drums is the project of singer/songwriter Jonny Pierce.
Pierce began making music with childhood friend Jacob Graham while they were teens as the electropop duo Goat Explosion. However, the band split and Pierce and Graham went on to other projects: Graham formed the indie pop group Horse Shoes, who released an EP on Shelflife in 2009. Meanwhile, Pierce and another friend, Adam Kessler, founded the new wave-inspired band Elkland, who were signed to Columbia Records and issued the album Golden in 2005. That year, Pierce left the band (which broke up in 2006) and took a hiatus from making music.
In 2008, Graham and Pierce reconnected and began writing songs together, trading the electronic direction of their earlier collaboration for a guitar-based approach. Early the following year, Pierce and Graham moved from central Florida to New York City, where Kessler became their second guitarist. With the addition of drummer Connor Hanwick, formerly of Cape of No Hope, the Drums' lineup was complete. Moshi Moshi released the Drums' singles 'Let's Go Surfing' and 'I Felt Stupid,' and their debut EP, Summertime!, arrived late in 2009. The singles 'Best Friend' and 'Forever and Ever Amen' preceded the band's self-titled first album, which Moshi Moshi released in the U.K. In spring 2010; it arrived in the States that autumn. During their first U.S.
Tour, Kessler left the group; friend of the band Tom Haslow played guitar for the rest of those dates. The Drums commenced writing and recording as a trio, releasing their first single with this lineup, 'The New World,' in April 2011.
Recruiting Violens' Chris Stein and Myles Matheny as members of their touring act, the band released the darker, keyboard-heavy Portamento that September. Hanwick, who had switched from drums to guitar, left the Drums during their 2012 tour. Pierce and Graham took time to regroup, each announcing solo projects. Pierce released the electropop solo single 'I Didn't Realise' late in 2012, while Graham formed the dreamy synth outfit Cascading Slopes.
That November, the duo announced that another Drums album was on the way; recorded in a lakeside cabin in upstate New York, 2014's Encyclopedia ranged from Pixies-esque rock to folk-pop. Following a bad breakup, Pierce took some time away from music and relocated to Los Angeles; meanwhile, Graham left the Drums in 2016 to focus on his puppetry career and his band, Sound of Ceres. For the Drums' cheerily heartbroken 2017 album, Abysmal Thoughts, Pierce wrote and played everything on his own during sessions engineered by Eaters' Jonathan Schenke.
