Jonny Pierce is back with “The Flowers,” a new look at his upcoming Drums album Jonny.
“The Flowers” has the same kind of infectious guitar and sprightly percussion as any classic by The Drums, but this go around, Pierce croons much more personal lyrics rather than chirping along about money or surfing. It’s a fitting approach for a song the artist explained is all about learning how to be gentle.
“With ‘The Flowers’ I explain how slowing down and being tender saved my life and how it became the key to loving myself, building confidence in myself, and being able to love another in a meaningful way,” Pierce said in a statement. “To love from a place that isn’t desperate, but from a place that is centered, calm, and gentle and sweet. ”
The single is The Drums’ latest offering from Jonny, out in full October 13th. Along with the previously released tracks “Better,” “Plastic Envelope,” and “Protect Him Always,” Pierce’s sixth studio album is set to unpack a lot of intimate history for the New York artist, adding a heightened sense of vulnerability to his beloved indie pop sound. Pre-orders for the LP are ongoing.
The Drums’ last album was 2019’s Brutalism.
