The War On Drugs have announced a live album.
'Live Drugs' will arrive on November 20 via Super High Quality Records, band leader Adam Granduciel’s label, and is made up of tracks taken from over 40 hard drives of live recordings from throughout the band's career.
The record has been sequenced in such a way as to replicate the flow of a 70-minute show, and to help achieve this it was co-produced by Dominic East, long-time friend, guitar technician and stage manager for the band. Granduciel said:
“As a band leader, I always want to know where a song can go. Even though we’ve recorded it, mastered it, put it out, and been touring on it, it doesn’t mean that we just have to do it the same way forever.
"It feels like it’s kind of a reset, to be able to put something out that’s a really good interpretation of the way we interpret our music live. Even though this recording is from a year of tours, this is really how these six guys evolved as a band from 2014 to 2019.”
