Apparently it’s been decided:  The War On Drugs’ new album Lost in the Dream is the album of the year.  Their new album is gaining near-universal high-praise, and we are firmly seat-belted into that bandwagon.  As with their last album, Slave Ambient, Adam Granduciel and band have delivered a superb and moving collection of songs that slow-build and brood and release all down the line, led by Granduciel’s updated Knopfler-Dylan-Springsteen mien.  The band is now out on tour in support of their superb new album, and you can get a feel for their captivating live act below as they perform songs from the new album at WFUV and the World Cafe.  Their impending tour dates are at bottom, and we will be at the Troubadour in LA on 4/4.  Look us up; we can’t wait for the show.  To hear the full WFUV session, you can go HERE.
