DRUMMER and I just FEEL GOOD TOGETHER

i tried and fell, only time will tell

♫ Drummer – Feel Good Together

Yes, Drummer is a dumb name for a band, but when you learn that the five dudes in Drummer are all in fact drummers, then it is kind of OK. When you hear the music they make, then it is more than OK. Naturally they aren’t all drumming here, but all five were behind the kit in other bands before The Black Keys‘ Patrick Carney brought them together this spring. It wasn’t enough that he was already in a pretty successful band but faced with some free time as the other Black Key toured for his solo effort, Carney decided to call up locally based drummer buddies and have them all (but one) take a stab at other duties for this project. No surprise then that “Feel Good Together,” the LP’s title track, is propulsive in every aspect as it hurtles you along with rolling drums, churning guitars, and and that awesome synth line that pops up in the middle. I haven’t got my hands on the full album yet but if we are taking Pitchfork’s word (we aren’t) then it is a damn fine effort (probably is).
