Dropping its fifth album Brutalism earlier this month via ANTI-, The Drums have shared the video for its latest single “Body Chemistry.” “On Brutalism there are a lot of songs about isolation, feeling cut off from others and seeing the world through a blurry lenses. We recorded my performance in front of a green screen in LA, and sent it to Russia where a visual artist processed the performance in a way that visual reflects of how I feel in my head sometimes,” Jonny Pierce says in regards to the video.
In unison with the new album, “Body Chemistry” explores an emotional factor that Pierce is experiencing. With the dense bass lines popping throughout, Pierce’s vocals are expressive and vibrant.
The Drums are currently on an expansive tour, touching down in several cities in the US and a few stops in Canada.
