Product Description
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 uncompromised rock monuments from pieces that may have seemed like odd pairs. Electronic and instrumental reprises precede songs they've yet to play, and Dr. Seuss becomes lyrical motivation for bold futuristic visions. Granduciel has done it again, better than before: Slave Ambient, their proper second album, is a brilliant 47 minute sprawl of rock n roll, conceptualized with a sense of adventure and captured with seasons of bravado.

I like this album, more with each replay. There's an ambient Springsteen thing going on. That could have turned out badly but to these ears it turned out just right.

On of the best albums to be released last year. A mix of drone. krautrock, shoegaze, pop, country, noise and, yes, Bruce. A quick listen to the track "Baby Missiles", sort of Harmonia/Suicide meets Bruce on the high lonesome trail, will show what they went after with this one, and it works beautifully. The fact that they remembered to bring the tunes assures that it never gets lost in experimentation. A wonderful album that gets better with each play.
