The Drums by Qiao Meng
It’s The Drums’ sixth studio album.
The Drums‘ new album Jonny has been set for release on October 13th.
The record will revolve around Jonny Pierce’s experiences growing up in what’s described as, ‘a cult-like religious community in upstate New York’, and is being previewed today with Better.
“When I finished Jonny, I listened to it, and I heard my soul reflected back at me,” Pierce said.
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.”
