War On Drugs – A Deeper Understanding CD

Philadelphia’s The War on Drugs reside at the blurred edges of American music: overexposing studio limitations, piling tape upon tape to maximum density, and then — with each song — they pull off the scaffolding to reveal what sticks, keeping only what’s absolutely necessary and dig into what sounds like the best kind of fucked up. The follow-up to their 2014 breakthrough, Lost In The Dream, A Deeper Understanding is an epic sonic statement.
