After returning from a three year gap with new material just last week, The Drums have announced the release of their third studio album Encyclopedia.

'Magic Mountain' can be streamed now via Soundcloud with Encyclopedia set for Monday September 22 and marks a new chapter for the band, now comprising of the two founder members Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham.  

"Encyclopedia is full of magic and surprise while maintaining a serious, more weighty tone throughout,” says Pierce. “We were feeling very angry, confused, and alone when we made this album; and we wanted to be very honest this time around, even if being honest meant making some people uncomfortable. We’ve left the beach for higher ground, always searching for hope.”

“Magic Mountain”

“I Can’t Pretend”

“I Hope Times Doesn’t Change Him”

“Kiss Me Again”

“Let Me”

“Break My Heart”

“Face Of God”

“U.S. National Park”

“Deep In My Heart”

“Bell Laboratories”

“There Is Nothing Left”

“Wild Geese”
