Strangely labeled as “Americana” or “Heartland Rock,” the War on Drugs have never been fearful of venturing into the synth-laden lands explored by ‘80s rock groups.
For years, the War on Drugs have specialized in making albums that feel like the half-remembered moments of a reverie. From the blurry, eroding images on the cover of “Slave Ambient” to the billowing passages of hazy ambient rock of “A Deeper Understanding” to even naming a record “Lost in the Dream,” the recordings of Adam Granduciel and company grapple with the unreliable nature of memory and its associated feelings.
Whether he is pondering that “maybe I’ve been gone too long/I can’t go back” on “Living Proof” or making the devastating revelation that he “can’t escape this memory” on “Harmonia’s Dream,” Granduciel returns times and again to the intoxicating — and equally dangerous — allure of the past on “I Don’t Live Here Anymore.” Nostalgia can fill you with an unmatched sense of euphoria, but stay there too long and you lose your grip on the present.
Of course, labelling the War on Drugs strictly as a guitar-based band misses the entire point, as the band has increasingly explored the murky realms of electronic-based sounds for years, no more so than on “I Don’t Live Here Anymore.”
