Days
Crystalline guitars and driving post-punk basslines create a shimmering yet melancholic space. It sounds like a lonely summer evening captured on a polaroid.

Days captures the essence of The Drums' ability to marry infectious, danceable rhythms with a profound sense of isolation. The track is built on a foundation of 80s-inspired post-punk basslines that feel both urgent and steady, providing a solid ground for the shimmering, reverb-heavy surf guitars to float above. It is a sound that feels distinctly coastal yet strangely urban, like a beach party held in an abandoned warehouse. The production is clean but retains a certain analog warmth that makes the melancholy feel intimate rather than cold.
