EVIDENTLY pleased with what they’ve crafted, The War On Drugs seem so eager to release their latest album A Deeper Understanding to the masses that they’ve now aired half of it before it officially emerges.
Debuted tonight on Zane Lowe’s Beats1 radio show, their latest track ‘Up All Night’ is sure to aid in growing the intense levels of anticipation that surround their latest project.
Following on from superb offerings such as ‘Holding On’, ‘Strangest Thing’ and ‘Pain’, ‘Up All Night’ is a sprawling piece of emotive Americana that is laden with hints of more abstract fare. Filled with undercurrents of electronic percussion, tentative piano chords and an almost industrial guitar salvo that demonstrates their continued expansion into a sound that is very much of their own devising, Adam Granduciel’s vocals delve into a middle-ground between Springsteen, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan which prove to be the perfect tool to enlist for such a stirring, unorthodox ballad.
Listen to the track now below:
