Philadelphia’s The War On Drugs kick off
2012 with a debut performance tonight, Tuesday January 10th on Late
Night with Jimmy Fallon! Its an ideal and fitting way to begin the year
for the ‘Drugs, especially following their strong finish to 2011, including a
tour of sold out dates in December and recognition on an extensive number of
year-end lists. Additionally, the band will head to the WNYCstudios
tomorrow, Tuesday, January 11th, for a performance and interview on
“Soundcheck.” This is certain to be just the first of many great things to
come for the band in 2012.
As previously announced, Secretly Canadian will release The
War On Drugs’ “Come to the City” 7-inch single on January 24th,
featuring Slave Ambient’s sprawling centerpiece and the previously
unreleased “Don’t Fear The Ghost.” With its discerning arrangement and
mesmerizing tone, “Don’t Fear The Ghost” fits perfectly in The War On Drugs’
singular catalogue.
“Slave Ambient is both an organic, flowing record born from
experimentation and an album where individual tunes can stand alone as anthems.
. . The result is a big album that's lined with subtle tinges
of percussion and noise that give it shape.”
– Pitchfork [#39 in “The Top 50 Albums
of 2011”]
“a fascinating little album”
– MTV [#11 in “The 20 Best Albums of
2011”]
“the definitive recorded statement that bridges the
sensibilities of stadium rock with the experimental thrash of Basement Show
U.S.A. The fact is, nothing in 2011 can match Slave Ambient.”
– Decibel Tolls [#1 in “The Year End
List”]
“From the opening ‘Best Night’ to the closing ‘Black Water
Falls,’ singer and sonic architect Adam Granduciel takes painstaking care with
his trademark arpeggiated guitar sound, one song flowing into the next like a
smartly sequenced mixtape. It's heady, intoxicating music . . . “
– Philadelphia Inquirer [“10 albums that
popped to the top”]
Following a run of sold out shows in December, The War On
Drugs continue touring in 2012, including North American dates with Sharon Van
Etten and White Rabbits.
