The Drums - Portamento
Ada yang suka The Drums? kayaknya sih gak mungkin ada orang yang gak suka The Drums. Band yang punya musik ceria, mudah dicerna, asik, vokalis nyentrik, dan lirik-lirik simpel (bahkan terkadang cheesy) tetapi tidak norak ini pasti disukai semua orang. Kecuali kamu cuma suka genre metal/punk/grunge/hardcore dan bertekad hanya mendengarkan genre itu sepanjang hidupmu.
Kita sudah mendengar album pertama mereka dan ‘wow, ini yang gue butuhkan saat gue lagi kerja, ngerjain tugas kuliah, atau lagi ngedate ama doi’ atau ‘wow, lagunya lucu tapi gak norak’. Dan gerombolan The Drums ini merilis album baru di 2011 ini dengan judul Portamento. Yang tentunya sudah ditunggu-tunggu.
Agak kaget juga sih (meski nggak kaget-kaget amat juga) waktu pertama kali mendengar album ini. Musik mereka lebih dewasa. Jika kamu bisa mencintai album debut mereka hanya dengan sekali putar, maka album ini perlu kamu putar berkali-kali untuk menikmatinya. Tidak mudah dicerna, tetapi tidak terlalu sulit didengarkan juga. Cuma single pertama mereka dari album ini, yaitu Money yang saya ingat ketika pertama kali mendengarkan album ini (karena cuma Money yang masih mirip sama materi album sebelumnya). Tapi tenang saja, setelah beberapa kali diputar, anda akan menyukai album ini.

about THE DRUMS:

Jonathan and Jacob met each other at summer camp when they were children. they’ve been best friends ever since (except for a five year period when they hated each other). They’ve both had successful musical careers individually, but this is the first time they’ve sat down and written songs together. “We’ve always wanted to make music together, but distance and violence has always stopped us.”
“We’d been planning on starting a new band together for a while. Jon was living in New York and I was living in Florida. He said the music scene was better in NYC and I said the surfing was better down here so Jon moved to Florida and we started The Drums.”
“We just wanted to start a band that sounded like The Wake.” say The Drums, “We heard their song ‘Pale Spectre’ and went crazy! Maybe our music didn’t turn out sounding too much like The Wake but we’re really just like everybody else, chasing that perfect pop song. And that’s not so bad right?”
Not so bad indeed! The Drums have a sound that pulls together years of obvious influence by the Factory records sound and a sudden fascination with 50’s surf culture. A combination that maybe doesn’t seem logical, but when you hear it you’ll know you need it, you’ve gotta have it and it’s what has always been missing. Now The Drums are hard at work on their first record, which is bound to be an instant classic!
