Description
The War On Drugs have announced their new live album, ‘Live Drugs’.
‘Live Drugs’ is comprised of 10 tracks that have been selected from 40 hard drives-worth of show recordings that were made during the band’s past six years of touring. The record includes a live version of ‘Buenos Aires Beach’ (from The War On Drugs’ 2008 full-length debut ‘Wagonwheel Blues’) and a cover of Warren Zevon’s ‘Accidentally Like A Martyr’.
“As a band leader, I always want to know where a song can go,” Granduciel explained about the band’s approach to playing live. “Even though we’ve recorded it, mastered it, put it out and been touring on it, it doesn’t mean that we just have to do it the same way forever.
“It feels like it’s kind of a reset, to be able to put something out that’s a really good representation of the way we interpret our music live. Even though this recording is from a year of tours, this is really how these six guys evolved as a band from 2014 to 2019.”
