The War On Drugs even deeper into their own matter With their last album "Lost In The Dream", The War On Drugs set the indie rock bar amazingly high. In 2017 they have done it again, with their new fourth studio release "A Deeper Understanding". For over three years, Adam Granduciel experimented in various studios in New York and Los Angeles, writing new songs and recording them. He worked closely with his bandmates David Hartley (bass), Robbie Bennett (keyboards), Charlie Hall (drums) and multi-instrumentalists Anthony LaMarca and Jon Natchez. The result is ten brand new songs, including the single "Thinking Of A Place" and the first official single "Holding On". Both songs make it clear that The War On Drugs are staying true to their unmistakable sound that characterizes "A Deeper Understanding," though they seem to have delved even deeper into the subject matter. And so the new record is once again an impressive blend of indie rock and Americana, synth psychedelic rock and 80s dream pop. War On Drugs simply understand music in depth. "Deeper understanding" is the title of the proof.

Album valt binnen het genre Rock en Indie Rock.
