Det \u00e4r melankoliskt och p\u00e5minner om David Gray och det \u00e4r spr\u00f6da vackra toner fr\u00e5n den akustiska gitarrer.

Likt en pastor som delger sin predikan tvingar Gareth Liddiard \u00e5h\u00f6rare att b\u00f6ja sig f\u00f6r hans sotsvarta bek\u00e4nnelser.<\/p>\n<p>Om fattiga ord ska beskriva The Drones s\u00e5 hamnar vi n\u00e5gonstans d\u00e4r; i landet mellan 16 Horsepower och Suicide, mellan Neil Young och US Maple, och mellan tr\u00e4sket och torra land drar de fram likt en karavan av obekv\u00e4ma sj\u00e4lar. Liddiards karakt\u00e4ristiskt feta accent ger ytterligare tryck f\u00f6r politiska undertoner och spruckna k\u00e4rleksf\u00f6rklaringar. Monotona rytmer och vildsinta, ettriga gitarrer ger r\u00f6sten en duk att m\u00e5la p\u00e5.<\/p>\n<p>Flertalet tidningar och skribenter har \u00f6ppet delgivit dem sin k\u00e4rlek och 2006 vann de Australian Music Prize f\u00f6r sitt album (med det milsl\u00e5nga namnet) &#8221;Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By&#8221;.
