The Drums have shared another new track from their forthcoming album.
‘Head of the Horse’ is taken from the new full-length ‘Abysmal Thoughts’, set for release on 16th June. It follows up on the already revealed ‘Blood Under My Belt’ and ‘Heart Basel’.
In a statement, founder Jonny Pierce explains: “I grew up in a poor and dirty town called Horseheads, NY. I am the son of two Pentecostal preachers who have always been outspokenly anti-gay and this made for a childhood that was riddled with self-doubt, confusion and a lot of self-hate. I remember being anxious all the time and turning to music as an escape. Music brought me to New York City, where I live now as an adult. But I am coming to find out that being an adult doesn’t mean much at all. We are all just kids in bigger, older bodies. We all still know very little about the world and even less about ourselves. I find that the past still dominates a lot of my daily experiences – sometimes to the point of feeling paralyzed. The goal is to heal, and I think I am – but at a much slower pace than I am comfortable with.”
