Lost in the Dream by The War on Drugs Album Info

Lost In The Dream is the third album by Philadelphia band The War on Drugs, but in many ways, it feels like the first. Around the release of the 2011 breakthrough Slave Ambient, Adam Granduciel spent the bulk of two years on the road, touring through progressively larger rock clubs, festival stages and late-night television slots. As these dozen songs shifted and grew beyond what they'd been in the studio, The War on Drugs became a bona fide rock 'n' roll band. That essence drives Lost In The Dream, a 10-song set produced by Granduciel and longtime engineer Jeff Zeigler. In the past, Granduciel built the core of songs largely by himself. But these tunes were played and recorded by the group that had solidified so much on the road: Dave Hartley, (his favorite bassist in the world), who had played a bit on The War on Drugs' 2008 debut Wagonwheel Blues, and pianist Robbie Bennett, a multi-instrumentalist who contributed to Slave Ambient. This unit spent eight months bouncing between a half-dozen different studios that stretched from the mountains of North Carolina to the boroughs of New York City. Only then did Granduciel--the proudly self-professed gearhead, and unrepentant perfectionist--add and subtract, invite guests and retrofit pieces. He sculpted these songs into a musical rescue mission, through and then beyond personal despair and anxiety. Lost In The Dream represents the trials of the trip and the triumphs of its destination. "I wanted there to be a singular voice, but I wanted it to be a project of great friends. Everyone in the band cares about it so much," he says. "That is the crux of it--growing up, dealing with life, having close friends, helping each other get by. That is what the record's all about." As such, these tunes reveal a careful and thrilling reinvention of the sound that's become The War on Drugs' trademark. The signature meld of long tones and scattershot layers still stands, with phantom drum machines and organ lines dotting the musical middle distance all across Lost In The Dream. Note the way the keys whisper against the guitar's growl as the tempestuous "An Ocean in Between the Waves" approaches pentecostal heat. Hear how, when a sharp and hard riff cuts into the inescapable chorus of "Red Eyes," synthetic strings and baritone saxophone shape a soft, infinite bed beneath it. But there's a newfound directness to these tunes, too. Granduciel's voice steps out from behind its typical web of effects--louder now, with more experiences to share and more steel from having survived them. He sounds less like a prismatic reflection of a rock bandleader, more like the emboldened actualization of that idea. With its crisp, unencumbered delivery, "Eyes to the Wind" becomes the album's centerpiece and the group's new anthem. This is Granduciel's to-date triumph and the exact moment where Lost In The Dream moves from a tale of confusion to one of resolve. Throughout most of the record, grips loosen and senses fail, memories are mourned and expectations are abandoned. But after the Rolling Thunder lift of "Eyes to the Wind," Granduciel finds new contentment and direction. Anguish sublimates into deliverance. Backed by his bros, Granduciel becomes a preacher in a new pulpit. (SC310 released: 03/18/14)

emmmms - Thank Gawd!

The hope is that for a band you love each release will surpass the one before it. All of WOD's albums have been great, this one is a masterpiece.

TR5621 - Been eagerly awaiting this and it did not disappoint

I wish there were more bands like these guys out there. A start to finish great album.

sydsterrrL - Red Eyes

Loving this song listening to it every day but I'm looking forward to the rest of the album I don't wanna wait!

david hake - One word to describe this album:

Brilliant.

w8atick - Layers and layers of great.

Brilliant album! Top to bottom, a true gem of Adam Granduciel's finest workbook. So smooth and emotive and rich and …..

mike lep - Tremendous

I hear a lot of Springsteen, Dire Straights, Don Henley and Tom Petty in these songs. What makes TWOD more than a revival act is the hypnotic, almost Krautrock beats, the extended song lengths and the waves of keyboards and noise. The effect is uplifting, dream-like and frequently gorgeous. This might be the only record I'd recommend to fans of the Boss and My Bloody Valentine. Best album of 2014 so far.

Blueswest - Slick, groovy and cool.

Do you like the Wallflowers? Springsteen and Dylan? You will love this!

trevorw24 - Their best effort

The War on Drugs have hit a home run with this record. The mood is dark and unsure . It's an album for a sunny or rainy day. It's an album for the ages . Great work.

Real Au Jus - A blissful dream...turned reality.

What a delight to see WOD back with a new batch of sonic bliss—been waiting on you guys! Already streamed Red Eyes a half dozen times this AM. Consider my morning made.

reggie Q - Amazing

Best album I’ve heard in a couple years. Honestly can’t take it out of the player. Do yourself a favor and buy this one immediately.

Aram Donabed - one of my favorite albums

so good

Macwilliams31 - ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Best album I've heard in along time....it gets in your head and stays...I love it

TheGoldenBearIsHere - In love with this band and their sound

I've been listening to Kurt Vile for ever, and I can still hear his touch in this band. This album is mesmerizing, lustrous and beautiful.

clancydubh - Indie rock is NOT dead!!!

What a nice find - so much new indie rock is so unnoteworthy that one starts to believe those who say indie rock is dead or has run it's course into the ground. This album is an absolute sonic delight from start to finish. I hear many influences, notably Mike Scott /Waterboys, Dylan, Springsteen, and not so much on this album as previous albums, Willie Nile. All these influences and many more mesh into a unique, uplifting album that doesn't make me want to take a nap 5 minuets into it. Highly recommended.

Ramonismyname - wonderful.

memories of Dire Straits, Springsteen, and Don Henley echoing about in a dream.

joujoukarollingstone - The Eagles of Indie

Theres a lot of Don Henley in here.

fitman30 - Lost In The dream

The War On Drugs amazing

Old Man Moxx - Buy this NOW!!!

An album chocked full of goodness!!!

TATYANA Bezpalko - Touching and poignant

I came across this album simply by chance and now I cannot stop listening to it. I didn't know music like this was still being written.

pumpkneater - A triumphant album

From start to finish, this album grabbed me. Tasty guitar licks, floating piano melodies, hypnotizing drum beats and the cathartic "Wooos!" that are yelled triumphantly in "Red Eyes." This album really does blend the feelings of sadness and loneliness into something bigger and more positive. This is an album I can press play on and just let it play. Wish they'd come to Charlotte!

walkerpogue - Once in a while

Every so often a band coalesces into something wondrous and captures it. 'Lost In The Dream' is a band doing exactly that: in wildest imaginings I never expected War On Drugs to be simultaneously so self assured and so vulnerable. Without boring you with comparisons I can say that 'Lost In The Dream' is a true gem. An instant classic.

TheConcertSwami - Forever lost in this dream!

Adam Granduciel's life experiences although painful have manifested into the most stunning collection of songs on Lost in the Dream. The listener is brought down a long road of pain, healing, and eventual hope. It will be talked about for years to come as one of the most beautiful records this decade produced.

Eric09* - Great

Fantastic stuff

Desouza 6 - Finally some good music you can relate to!

For a long time I ve not heard Such good music.

EmmylouMarie - Wow

A beautiful record. Blown way

AKincaid - Generation Defining Sound

There are a few bands that come along each generation that come to represent the sound of that time. I’m not saying TWOD is that band for this time; I think EDM and Hip Hop still rule the halls of our high schools, but as for Rock and Roll, this album is as good as it gets in 2014. The album opens with a two song string - Under the Pressure, and Red Eyes - that sound like summer nights spent in the lawn seats at the amphitheater, like echoing dreams of beer soaked concerts lost. The balance of the album churns forward through sonic paths original and borrowed. It’s tinged with Dire Straits, Tom Petty, Talking Heads and Springsteen. These guys deserve to be a major, national headline. I hope you’ll support the cause.

PaulSidd - HomeRun

This is without a doubt, one of the top 5 albums to date for 2014. This music draws you in and refreshes the soul. Thanks WOD and keep up your unique style.

Pavan Pratury - Nice album

Did like in the beginning but got Hooked to it after multiple hearings.Great compositions with fine music

Josh Bolton - Every song sounds too much alike.

It's a good album. Good easy listening music. Feels a little repetitive.
