The Drums: ”Money”
[from Portamento / Frenchkiss] 

Every time I hear a song by The Drums, I wish that I was driving my car. I can’t think of another band that has so many songs that fill me with such an overwhelming desire to jump behind the wheel of the convertible I don’t own and keep driving until some sort of life altering event occurs. It’s not an escape fantasy of any kind, but more of a feeling of wishing I was existing amongst a film montage.

“Money” is an intensely sweet song with just the right amount of morbidity to balance the scales before tipping over into sappiness. This is frenetic energy at it’s very finest.
