The Drums recently announced their return with "Abysmal Thoughts," their fourth album which will be released on June 16th via Anti-. Today the band shares the music video for the record's first single "Blood Under My Belt," a quintessential Drums song: a real heartbreaker disguised as a sunny track, showcasing frontman Jonny Pierce's masterful pop sensibility. Watch the music video via Pitchfork HERE or YouTube HERE.
“I hate making music videos. But, alas, sometimes you need to feed the beast, and I decided to make a music video that explores some visual fetishes of mine - mainly sportswear and a new exploration of colors that I’ve long-loved but hadn’t been a part of the band’s aesthetic until now. I love this new era of The Drums because I’m allowed to express exactly what I want and take it all the way.”
