THE WAR ON DRUGS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, LOST IN THE DREAM, OUT MARCH 18TH ON SECRETLY CANADIAN, AND 2014 SPRING TOUR
LISTEN TO/SHARE ALBUM SINGLE, "RED EYES"
The War On Drugs, the Philadelphia-based project of Adam Granduciel, is set to release their third full-length album, the beautifully sweeping Lost In The Dream, on March 18, 2014 via Secretly Canadian. Written and recorded over two-plus years in Philadelphia, North Carolina, New York and New Jersey, following almost two years of nonstop touring in support of 2011's Slave Ambient, Lost In The Dream is the outstanding presentation of Granduciel's progression and growth as a songwriter, performer, and producer. It is an immense listen to be absorbed and discovered now and for decades to come.
The War On Drugs will kick off a North American tour the week of the album's release with a hometown show and three nights in New York. They'll continue on playing larger venues and multiple night runs in cities across the continent. All dates are below.
Lost In The Dream is available for pre-order now. The album's first single, "Red Eyes," will be available as instant download with pre-order purchase and as a standalone single on iTunes.

WHAT'S BEEN SAID ABOUT THE WAR ON DRUGS:
" . . . rather than work up a chest-thumping, Bono-worthy wail, Granduciel is happy to sit back and ride out the song's dense waves of sound, to prolong the euphoric feeling of anticipation-- the road trip he's soundtracking is very much his own, and he's as much a slave to the ambience as we are."
- Pitchfork [Best New Music, 8.3 | Top 50 Albums of 2011]
"Only a few artists are gifted enough to write hair-raising, fists-in-the-air, pedal-to-the-floor rock 'n' roll anthems: U2, Bruce Springsteen and Arcade Fire are proven pros, but maybe The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel should be added to that class, too." - NPR Music
" . . . by deftly, smartly combining bits and pieces of the past four decades of electric guitar music and mixing it with a sturdy, rolling thunder rhythm that pushed songs forward with ridiculous amounts of momentum, the War on Drugs created a magical wormhole out of electricity, muscle and faded blue jeans." - Los Angeles Times
"It's a beautiful record that worms its way into your brain before you even realize it." - The FADER
"The brooding, ethereally layered roots-rock of the War on Drugs, a Philadelphia band built around the slack vocals and anything-but-slack creative vision of Adam Granduciel, has never sounded better than it does on 'Slave Ambient'" - The New York Times
