tunes you need Tuesday on Thursday: The Drums

Shut up.

I love this new band.  The Drums are a band from Brooklyn who released their first full-length self-titled album on Tuesday.  They've managed to take parts of the Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division and mix it with the sounds of summertime and they sound like this: 

I just adore that.

And this should be the song of summer 2010.

"I'll Never Drop My Sword" is superfantastic.  I've played this one 42 times.

And "Forever and Ever Amen" may be my favorite, although it's hard to pick.  The video is all kinds of fun. 

So, The Drums new album is available at the iTunes store, so get it.  It's your summer theme music.
