The Drums have confirmed they are currently working on a new album, and hope to have the record released this year.
In an interview with XFM, the band’s frontman Jonathan Pierce explained how the recording process is closely linked to the formula which produced their successful debut.
“This year we’ll put something out. We’re writing and recording every day in New York. Currently recording in our kitchen so it’s a very home spun effort again,’ he said. “Right now its just guitar based, drums, vocals and I’ve bought this really old modular analogue synthesiser from Tokyo that we’re sort of implementing.”
The Drums were treated to a big build up towards the end of 2009 and into early 2010, featuring prominently on the BBC‘s annual Sound Of rundown, while NME named them as their number one band to watch for the year.
The self-titled album came in June 2010, and went a long way to justifying the hype, becoming one of the highest praised releases of last year.
