THE DRUMS
The Drums are an American indie pop band from Brooklyn, NY. In December 2009, the band was shortlisted as one of the 15 music acts for the BBC Sound of 2010.
“The Drums have got simplicity down to a fine art. The Drums’ newly minted blend of surf-rock and indie pop was as canny as it was minimal and uncomplicated. Song titles from their self-titled debut, from Let’s Go Surfing to Best Friends, were never likely to mask socio-political treatises” BBC REVIEW.

The albums artwork is of a photograph containing two people. There is a young boy stood alongside his mother or grandmother perhaps, whose eyes have been edited through computer graphics; his eyes have been filled in red to possibly symbolize possession and the Devil. This connotation is also given through props in the background, a wooden Cross is hung directly above the boy’s head onto the wall. The picture is again of an 80s style, like in the “Best Friend” music video; it could possibly have been taken by a Polaroid or film camera, rather than digital image.
The album title appears to the top right of the cover, typed in large black, bold font inside a white box. The box also contains directly underneath, in smaller font, the band name and a track list. This isn’t very common in typical albums, as the cover usually focuses mainly on the image, rather than font.
