The Drums are announcing Jonny (Deluxe), an expanded version of last fall’s album that now includes twenty-one songs. Also on the record is “Dying”, a song featuring rapper Rico Nasty that was shared just prior to the album’s release. The track is accompanied by a music video simulating Jonny’s funeral and features his own genuine fans filling the pews alongside Rico.

“I wrote “The Impossible” very quickly, over the course of a few hours, music and all; it wanted to be here with me,” lead singer and songwriter Jonny Pierce explained. “It’s a curious time for me to write a song about emotional devastation and unfulfilled promises, as I am currently reveling in a romance that feels fulfilling and meaningful and full of integrity. It is as if the more peaceful and nested I am, the more worried that part of me becomes. I can only assume that the survivors-brain I forged in childhood wrote this song with me. It seems to be working overtime trying to protect me from emotional shipwreck in the future. Wouldn’t it be lovely just to enjoy love while it’s here!?”

“It is only in the past few years that I have really begun to understand what happened to me as a boy, which has helped me start to build my own bridge towards real love,” Pierce explained. “The song is a declaration – that I will take what I was never given. I want the full experience of being human, which includes love and connection. I want it all.”
