The Drums arrived last year with a blare of hype and a whistled solo on their hard-to-resist single "Let's Go Surfing" that was second only to Peter Bjorn and John's "Young Folks" in terms of insidiousness. It looks as though this second album, coming so soon after their debut, is an attempt to rush out more material before the backlash turns to indifference. They've retained the late-80s-Mancunian-indie-plus-surf-pop  formula, and though that produced some sparkling tunes first time round, now things sound somewhat thin: each lovelorn and drear ditty seems to blend into the next.
