With such a culturally loaded name and obtusely abstract couple of album covers, I felt that I currently lacked the intellectual stamina to tackle The War on Drugs. Imagine my surprise when I finally gave it a go and discovered a much more approachable and nostalgic type of music. Exuding a kind of working class spirit and rustic energy, The War on Drugs is hard not to like. "Baby Missiles", first debuted on his EP Future Weather last year and has been repackaged in his new recent LP, Slave Ambient. This song in particular has very natural, tall tale style of lyricism with a lush celebratory rhythm comprised of equal parts synth and country style rock. Furthermore, holy cow, how much does lead singer Adam Granduciel sound like Bruce Springsteen!! Check it out.
