The Drums are back with a new label, ANTI-, and soon their first record in three years. Abysmal Thoughts will be out June 16 (pre-order) and was primarily a solo effort by main man Jonny Pierce, with Eaters’ Jonathan Schenke (who has worked with Parquet Courts, Girl Talk and others) behind the boards. First single “Blood Under My Belt” is quintessential Drums, instantly catchy and a nice welcome back. Listen below.

Pierce, who left NYC for LA, will be taking his new live lineup of The Drums on the road this month for a tour to and from SXSW. No East Coast shows, unfortunately. All dates, along with album art and tracklist, below.
