The War On Drugs Biography

The War on Drugs from Philadelphia operates at the hazy edges of American music, overexposing studio constraints by stacking tape on top of the tape to maximum density before removing the scaffolding with each song to reveal what sticks, keeping only what is absolutely necessary, and delving into what sounds like the best kind of messed up. As with their 2008 first album, Wagonwheel Blues key member Adam Granduciel uses fleeting moments captured on several cassettes and song iterations while putting every last bit of faith in his own acute sense of momentum. Not to minimize the incisive, original songwriting at work here. There are undoubtedly references to our country's finest bards (Dylan Petty Springsteen). But when the situation demands it, The War on Drugs is also shrewd enough to blow up those cues or launch itself into space. The hard-rocking organ riff that propels "Baby Missiles," from the band's epic EP Future Weather from 2010, may not have been inspired by a specific Springsteen song so much as a fever dream. And "Comin' Through," another song from Future Weather, with its unending layers of atmospherics and guitar melody, works to fill its sails with ever-warmer breezes rather than adding weight to the ship.
