Allo Darlin’ – My Heart is a Drummer
The rise of Allo Darlin’ continues apace with the band releasing single number four from their debut album. Something that should really be pushing it for a record that only has ten songs on it in the first place. My Heart is a Drummer isn’t the strongest effort from it, but the opening verse alone makes it well worth it regardless. It says a lot about Allo Darlin’ overall that even their weaker singles are far more interesting than anything most bands are doing.
Above is also the gloriously silly video for the song. While I’m slightly disappointed that it doesn’t follow the pitch perfect Super 8 style of the previous singles, it’s a whole lot of fun in it’s own right. Few bands could take crawling through boxes and playing to an audience of dancing hearts and not manage to demean themselves in the process.
The single is released on November 15 via Fortuna POP! and the band will be playing Cargo with the also wonderful Grave Architects on November 17.
MP3 Allo Darlin’ – My Heart is a Drummer
Long time reader of your blog, first time commenter. Wanted to say thanks for introducing me to Allo Darlin’ and numerous other awesome bands over the years. Love this video, especially due to Elizabeth wearing an Eux Autres t-shirt, who in case you don’t know are a great two-piece brother-and-sister indie-pop band out of Portland, Oregon featurng (for what it’s worth) Heather Larimer, ex-love interest of one Stepehen Malkmus.
