New York-based indie pop/alt band The Drums (led by Jonny Pierce) have announced their sixth studio album titled simply ‘Jonny‘ and have shared their new single “Better“.
The record, written, performed, produced, engineered and mixed by Jonny Pierce, will be out on October 13 via Anti Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Speaking about it, Jonny Pierce shares: “16 songs birthed out of my deepest wounds and out of my wildest joys. When I listen back to it, I hear my soul reflected back at me. It is devastating and triumphant, it is lost and found, it is confused and certain, it is wise and foolish. It is male and female, it is hard and gentle. To encapsulate ones’ whole self in an album, to honor each and every part of you—even the parts that feel at odds with each other, is to make something deeply human, and because my religion is humanism, the album becomes a sacred place for me to worship. Each feeling a different pew, each song a hymn to the human heart.”
