These sessions proved highly productive, turning out early versions of some of the most immediate songs on ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’. It was the start of a dozen-plus session odyssey that spanned three years and seven studios, including some of rock’s greatest sonic workshops like Electric Lady in New York and Los Angeles’ Sound City. Band leader Adam Granduciel and trusted co-producer/engineer Shawn Everett spent untold hours peeling back every piece of these songs and rebuilding them. One of the most memorable sessions occurred in May 2019 at Electro-Vox, in which the band’s entire line-up — rounded out by keyboardist Robbie Bennett, drummer Charlie Hall, and saxophonist Jon Natchez — convened to record the affecting album opener “Living Proof.” Typically, Granduciel assembles The War On Drugs records from reams of overdubs, like a kind of rock ‘n’ roll jigsaw puzzle. But for “Living Proof,” the track came together in real time, as the musicians drew on their chemistry as a live unit to summon some extemporaneous magic. The immediacy of the performance was appropriate for one of the most personal songs Granduciel has ever written. The War On Drugs’ particular combination of intricacy and imagination animates the 10 songs of ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’, buttressing the feelings of Granduciel’s personal odyssey. It’s an expression of rock ’n’ roll’s power to translate our own experience into songs we can share and words that direct our gaze toward the possibility of what is to come.

Adam Granduciel的乐队的第五张专辑用更为锐利的旋律取代了以前那些歌曲中那些模糊的边缘,更加拓展开了他已经做到极致的那些细致入微却也快乐地简洁的音乐界线。 The War On Drugs的歌曲就像是刻在手指上的纹身:love, hurt; home, away; dark, lght(Let’s get high tonight...

The War on Drugs曾经有着自然科学的精准。他们深究每个音乐细节,依靠迷幻吉他、暗中行进的合成器线和晕眩的drones,始终毫无愧意地将氛围凌驾于文本,将真意埋藏在抽象的词作和无数混响之下。 但I Don't Live Here Anymore拨开了这层朦胧,不再在“梦境”、“回忆”之间的语...

这就是传说中年度最佳摇滚专辑的水平?除了一首victim其他至少目前听起来很一般。

Living Proof/I Don’t Live Here Anymore/Occasional Rain 我推荐给程序员同事听,同事质问我“这么土的摇滚乐不符合你这个骷髅头卫衣嘎”,我:程序员又能洋气到哪里去?封面的内搭和你今天穿的格纹衬衫一样喔

3.5 遗憾的地方是上专广大的乐器solo以及沉思式吉他漫游被更简单的流行大歌取代,也不能说不好听(毕竟八十年代heartland rock是易听的公式),但是感觉没花太多力气,像第八首基本就是上专弃曲了吧,第六首感觉可以调快一点跟专辑里面其他缓歌区别一下?像第四首和第五首偏实验的歌曲被制作拖累,而第七首和第十首这些又有点无聊;第二首如果合成器/鼓点/人声元素都没那么割裂,可能会有更多人喜欢,反正... 3.5 遗憾的地方是上专广大的乐器solo以及沉思式吉他漫游被更简单的流行大歌取代,也不能说不好听(毕竟八十年代heartland rock是易听的公式),但是感觉没花太多力气,像第八首基本就是上专弃曲了吧,第六首感觉可以调快一点跟专辑里面其他缓歌区别一下?像第四首和第五首偏实验的歌曲被制作拖累,而第七首和第十首这些又有点无聊;第二首如果合成器/鼓点/人声元素都没那么割裂,可能会有更多人喜欢,反正个人还蛮喜欢那段鼓;第三首后面的吉他和钢琴不就很好?不过到现在仍然最喜欢第一首的bait,前半段的背景木吉他接近漫游感,后面的键盘和吉他是反覆上升然后回到原点,暗示主角历练后的凯旋回归,很好地反映这专永不停留,在人生道路稳定前进的主题 Cut: 1/3/2 (展开)

疫情下的另类歌手们都心照不宣,那几年的流行化几乎是趋势了。这张相对于前作更明亮些。标题曲已经是人生歌曲了,一大片白色。离去也可以是压抑已久的解放不是么
