Description
When Noisey surprised everyone by premiering the single, "Magic Mountain" it marked the first track The Drums had released in 3 years, marking a return to the two founding core members of Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham.
'Encyclopedia' is The Drums' third full-length album.
The Drums' music often explores the themes of loss, nostalgia, redemption, vulnerability, and love – with critics embracing both the lyrics and their sonic signature. This time around, they've embraced a darker sound while making it as grand and majestic as they please.
'Encyclopedia' is full of "magic and surprise while maintaining a serious, more weighty tone throughout," says Jonny.
The LP marks the first time since the 'Summertime!' EP that Jacob and Jonny were left to their own devices, without having to ask a soul for approval. The result is an exciting display of personal emotion and unashamed, majestic songwriting style.
