    • Description
    Philadelphia’s The War on Drugs, the vehicle of Adam Granduciel — frontman, rambler, shaman, pied piper guitarist and apparent arranger-extraordinaire, returns with “Slave Ambient”.On their debut, the life-affirming ‘Wagonwheel Blues’, and the follow-up EP, “Future Weather”, The War on Drugs seemed obsessed with disparate ideas, with building un-compromised rock monuments from pieces that may have seemed like odd pairs. Folk-rock marathons come damaged by drum machines. Electronic and instrumental reprises precede songs they’ve yet to play, and Dr. Seuss becomes lyrical motivation for bold futuristic visions. Now, Granduciel has done it again, better than before: “Slave Ambient”, their proper second album, is a brilliant 47-minute sprawl of rock ’n’ roll, conceptualised with a sense of adventure and captured with seasons of bravado.

    “Slave Ambient” features a team of Philadelphia’s finest musicians, including multi-instrumentalists Dave Hartley and Robbie Bennett, and drummer Mike Zanghi. Recorded throughout the last four years at Granduciel’s home studio in Philly, Jeff Ziegler’s Uniform Recording and Echo Mountain in Asheville, NC.
