The Drums returns with their new album Abysmal Thoughts, where band founder Jonny Pierce has created the exact album he's always held in his heart. Despite the brokenness that The Drums is known for, there is beauty and bliss in this kind of heartbreak.

Pierce takes everything life throws at him and still manages to walk away triumphant. In Abysmal Thoughts, Pierce is back in full control of The Drums, writing all the songs himself, playing every instrument, and bringing his personal vision to life. This album showcases some of the most revelatory work he has ever done.

Despite the title, the album is far from abysmal - in fact, it is irresistibly pop, reflecting Pierce's journey to find happiness after experiencing the worst. Pierce reflects on the healing power of being an artist, stating, "If there's one thing I can rely on, it's the healing power of being an artist. I'm falling back in love with music."

The album is available as a 2LP on Standard Black Vinyl, with Side D etched for added visual appeal.
