The Drums - Down By The Water (Video)

After generously sharing the audio version of their new single “Down By The Water”, The Drums unleash a very non-typical video for the tune via Stereogum. Helmed by the band in conjunction with Surround’s Brian and Brad Palmer, you can expect a very special choreography from these gentlemen shot in black and white. Here’s their take of the visual:

We wanted the “Down by the Water” video to directly reflect the song itself, and be as simple as possible. Both the video and song are a tribute to the girl groups of the 50’s and 60’s, a great inspiration to the band and one of the reasons we started it.

Do not miss them while on tour. Hit the dates after the jump.
