The NYC indie-pop four-piece that came together in 2009, have reached international acclaim and are now in the middle of their first release, an LP, self-titled The Drums which is out now digitally, and will be out physically on 9/14 via Downtown Records. This single “Down By The Water” is something new from the group, gravitating towards a more folk influenced vibe, with minimalist production this track oozes calmness.

“We wanted the “Down by the Water” video to directly reflect the song itself, and be as simple as possible. Both the video and song are a tribute to the girl groups of the 50’s and 60’s, a great inspiration to the band and one of the reasons we started it.”

Hit the jump for the visuals and the dates for their co-headlining North American tour with Surfer Blood this fall.
