The Drums are allowing “Down By The Water” to be downloaded as a free mp3, so if you somehow haven’t heard the song or the band already, scoop it up legally/free at the end of the post.
“Down By The Water” is one of the band’s slower moments, but it’s a damn good moment at that. I really like the vintage summer sound that the band brings to the table. You have all probably heard it by now, but for those of you who this song is new to, enjoy:

You can also read an interview that NY Mag did with The Drums front-man/lead singer Jonathan Pierce right here.

I saw these guys supporting Florence in London, UK earlier this yeah. Bought their EP, great selection of upbeat catchy tunes. Check out “Don’t Be a Jerk, Jonny”!
