The Drums drop new single ‘Obvious’
American indie rockers The Drums have released their newest single, ‘Obvious’.
Earlier this year, Jonathan Pierce returned from a nearly half-decade-long hiatus with the track ‘I Want It All’. ‘Plastic Envelope / Protect Him Always’ followed later in the year, and now The Drums have four new singles so far in 2023.
“Unwavering love has shown itself to be stronger than any of my fears and self-protections,” Pierce says in a statement. “‘Obvious’ is a joyous song about that transformative moment, of finally lifting up my head, opening my eyes, and finding steadfast love surrounding me from all angles.”
“It’s about the realization that I’ve been loved all along, but I am just now feeling safe enough to let myself see it.”
The Drums are set to spend the summer of 2023 touring the US. Starting out in San Diego on July 12, the band will spend tour months crisscrossing the States, ending things right back in California with a final show in San Francisco.
