Hello, The Drums! Good to see you again! We rarely do live recordings of the same artist twice, but we couldn't stay away from this night at Berns. Last time we met was at Way Out West in 2010 so we thought it was about time for a new session. The band are on tour promoting their current album Portamento featuring favorites such as Money and Days.

"The album is marred by a number of fatal flaws that the sunniest of pop melodies can’t rescue. Take “Money,” a tense and wiry cut that features a pretty terrific bass melody that is overshadowed by lead singer Jonathan Pierce’s grating falsetto and amateurish lyric. A germ of a great song is ruined by affectation and limp production. Only Portamento’s first two tracks are strong enough to alleviate the irritation that greets the rest of these songs (of which there are too many). “Book of Revelation” rides in on an irresistible vocal hook (and hand claps), reminding us that the Drums know how to execute a killer surf-pop melody. Same goes for “Days,” which, thankfully, plays down the Drums’ Smiths fetish and delivers some honeyed guitar riffs too." Pretty Much Amazing
