}} ''Encyclopedia'' is the third studio album of American indie pop band The Drums. It was released on September 23, 2014, by Minor Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/encyclopedia/id901754252 )〕 It was the first album of the band released by Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham as a duo. == Background == Prior to the release of the band's second album ''Portamento'', it was announced that guitarist Adam Kessler had left The Drums and that many “shouting matches” had occurred between its members, which nearly caused a break-up. During the band's 2012 tour, former drummer and guitarist, Connor Hanwick, left the band. The Drums was then put on a hold, and both Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham focused on their side projects. On one side, Pierce announced that he would start a solo career; in November 2012 he released his first solo track "I Didn't Realise" and announced that he would be releasing his first solo album in 2013. Jacob Graham also started working on his side project Cascading Slopes, releasing their first album ''Towards a Quaker View of Synthesizers'' in November 2013. This same month, however, Pierce announced the postponement of the release of his first solo album, to be entitled ''Queen Nail'', as he and Graham had started working on a new Drums album.〔 Pierce and Graham recorded the album in a cabin in New York, and then in Williamsburg's Scientific Laboratories rehearsal studio.〔 They described the process of working again as a duo, the first time since the band's first EP ''Summertime!'', enjoying more freedom in the creative process, as they set the goal of changing any preconceived ideas about the band "and make songs to be as grand and majestic as we want them to be." On February 16, 2014, they announced on their official Facebook page that the third album was finished. Pierce described the album as a "rude awakening," while Graham described the album as "interesting and bizarre."〔 On July 8, 2014, "Magic Mountain," their first new song in three years, was revealed via SoundCloud.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://soundcloud.com/minorrecords/magic-mountain )〕 The song was released digitally on July 22, 2014.〔 The album's second single, "I Can't Pretend", was released on August 26, 2014.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Encyclopedia (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
