The War On Drugs will give the album a physical release on September 30th.
The War On Drugs have added two brand new songs to the deluxe edition of their 2021 album I Don’t Live Here Anymore.
One of those, Oceans Of Darkness, has been making live appearances during the band’s world touring this year, and has had its origins outlined by Adam Granduciel:
“One night in LA, while we were many months into working on what would be I Don’t Live Here Anymore, Dave uncovered a stripped down demo in my dropbox called Oceans Of Darkness, and insisted we try recording it.”
“We were frustrated and exhausted at the time, but we set up in a circle after dinner and worked it out as the tape was rolling. It’s rare that a song of ours could feel this complete after only a few takes, but it had all the desperation and urgency that we had been looking for.”
“Ultimately I didn’t include it on the record because I couldn’t find a home for it among the other songs, but we’re happy we can share it with you now.”
