With The Drums’ new <i>Abysmal Thoughts</i>, band founder Jonny Pierce has made the exact album he’s always held in his heart. Of course, this is The Drums, so that heart is broken - but there’s beauty and even bliss in this kind of heartbreak, as well as that special kind of glorious delirium that comes from taking everything life can throw at you and still walking away triumphant. Here Pierce is back in full control of The Drums, not just writing all the songs himself but playing every instrument and bringing his exact personal vision to life. Not coincidentally, it’s some of the most revelatory work he’s ever done. If <i>Abysmal Thoughts</i> doesn’t sound at all abysmal - really, Pierce has rarely been this irresistibly pop - that’s because this is a story about how to figure out what happiness means once the worst has already happened: “If there’s one thing I can rely on it’s the healing power of being an artist,” he says. “I’m falling back in love with music.
