The sixth Drones’ record is due for release in March and the opening salvo is a staid, tense and bitter lament. It has a broken soulfulness that is completely unaffected, piano notes that drop like rain and a flat throb in the chorus. Atmospheric and angry and dark, the gravitas of this tune is immediately familiar; it could only be one band, and that band continues to be brilliant.
