The War On Drugs- Slave Ambient
Reviews2 CommentsThe War On Drugs' Slave Ambient is a glistening set of folk rock tunes and kinda ambient instrumentals. The production, for me, is a real blessing on this LP. The sounds are so pretty, which actually makes me wanna revisit a great deal of these tracks. But as far as songwriting and vocal deliveries go, the nail isn't hit on the head every single time. Plus, a good chunk of these songs either feel too alike other tracks on this album. I'd even go as far as saying there's a bit of filler on here.
Still, there are more good moments than bad with Slave Ambient, which makes the War On Drugs a project worth watching closely.

The War On Drugs- "Baby Missles" / "Come To the City"
New TracksCommentTwo tracks from the War On Drugs' Slave Ambient, a forthcoming album on Secretly Canadian records. This project is fronted by Philly singer-songwriter Adam Granduciel, but this guy is not your average guitar strummer with a drawl.
The sounds and textures behind Granduciel's voice are pretty rhythmic, rocking, and repetitive--not to mention atmospheric. It sounds like Neil Young or Bob Dylan fronting a kraut rock band. I have to say, though, Neil came closer to doing that than Bob did.
The War On Drugs' new LP will be dropping on August 16th.
