![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout Portamento's 12 songs, there are 11 references to death or dying, the most notable arriving on "Days" when Pierce testifies to his past devotion to a broken relationship by casually tossing out the revelation that he "killed myself." Obsessing over mortality is nothing new in indie pop, let alone within the Drums' catalog thus far. In the leadup to the release of the Drums' second album, Portamento, Pierce has sounded dismissive of the band's general career trajectory, claiming that they don't "have a very long shelf life as a band" and that they came close to breaking up this past June following "a lot of shouting matches." Accordingly, that grim outlook is reflected in their most recent work.
