The War on Drugs Talks ‘Live Drugs Again’ and Playing on Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’: ‘It’s Arguably the Coolest Thing I’ve Ever Done’


The War on Drugs frontman Adam Granduciel discusses 'Live Drugs Again,' getting back into the studio and playing guitar on Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter.'

Like many of the band’s progenitors, from Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan to Tom Petty, you haven’t truly experienced the War on Drugs until you’ve seen them in the flesh. “Put your hands tuh-GETHA!” Granduciel growls at the beginning of “I Don’t Live Here Anymore,” turning one of the band’s best songs into a timeless, stadium-worthy anthem. On “Harmonia’s Dream,” the band floats into a shimmering, two-minute slow burn, until the song settles into a groove that drives toward an explosive climax — and then an even more exciting bridge.
