Last month, Jonny Pierce aka the Drums released his first new single of 2023: “I Want It All.” It arrived three years after some one-off 2020 singles as the Drums & Jonny Pierce and a 2019 LP Brutalism. Today, Pierce is sharing two more new Drums tracks, “Plastic Envelope” and “Protect Him Always.”

“‘Plastic Envelope’ is about the pain that comes when your trust has been violated and the dread of not knowing if you could open your heart again the same way,” Pierce explains. “The second song, ‘Protect Him Always,’ is an apology to the young boy in me, who I try my best to protect, knowing that when I get hurt, he gets hurt all over again.”

Listen to both below.
