Single released 28/09/2009
Taking the unlikely templates of 50s surf-rock and Factory Records as inspiration and mixing in a new wave sound, brand new four piece The Drums announce themselves as purveyors of some of the most exciting new sounds to come out of the US this year. As the saturation point of female-fronted electronic acts has surely been reached in the UK, The Drums arrive with a brand new sound – they are an essential listen and well worth of all the excitement surrounding them.
Opening with the most infectious whistling line since Peter, Bjorn and John and accompanied by buzz-saw surf guitar riffs, Let's Go Surfing is three minutes of shimmering Florida sun-kissed, NYC informed brilliance.
