Since Jonny Pierce took his indie-pop project the Drums solo, he’s released two full-length albums with 2017’s Abysmal Thoughts and 2019’s Brutalism. In 2020, he sporadically put out some singles confusingly labeled as the Drums & Jonny Pierce, but he’s been pretty quiet since then. Today, Pierce is back with a new Drums single, the insistently catchy “I Want It All,” the first track from a yet-announced Drums album.

“The song emerged from the longing and the pain that stemmed from a loveless childhood,” he said in a statement. “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. 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.”
