The War on Drugs – I Don’t Live Here Anymore

Despite its three-year, seven-studio gestation, the War On Drugs’ fifth album feels warmer, more organic, and more personal than their last album – the Grammy-winning ‘A Deeper Understanding’. An album that helped propel them from from a small Philadelphia indie-rock concern to arena headliners. Songwriter Adam Granduciel recently told NME that “music should be filled with wonder”, and there’s magic everywhere you look on this triumph of an album.

‘Every musical element from vintage synthesizers to even-more vintage guitars is honed and cut clean, broadening the borders of the meticulous yet joyously simple sound the band has perfected’ – Pitchfork
