Description

To commemorate the tenth anniversary of The War On Drugs' Lost In The Dream, we've put together a special long-form episode of The Super High Quality Podcast to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how the record was made.   Between sessions in Hoboken and North Carolina, Adam Granduciel worked regularly with engineer Jeff Zeigler in Philly adding "paint" to a collection of songs that would be widely hailed as the band's first masterpiece on its release in March 2014.  As the band struggled against the repetition and inevitable distractions of working close to home with local friends and collaborators, as the recordings took shape, Adam  was simultaneously struggling with the unpredictability of his own mental health.  In candid conversations with the key players, and using previously unheard early mixes and demos, we'll follow the work in progress from the first sessions in early 2013 through the late summer and early fall when the songs  took their final form during mixing.  We'll also ride shotgun with Adam on his  journey home from the mastering studio to the shoulder of I-95 in a fitting conclusion to the making of Lost In The Dream."One of 2014's Truly great records.  The perfect American road trip"  - NME"The War On Drugs make archetypal road trip music.  Shimmering, steady, gritty as pavement and open as the sky." - Rolling StoneHost: Dominic EastGuests: Adam Granduciel, Dave Hartley, Robbie Bennett, Charlie Hall, Dusdin Condren

Although the Super High Quality Podcast was dormant for much of 2022 as the band toured heavily in support of the album I Don’t Live Here Anymore (which includes the Grammy-Nominated song “Harmonia’s Dream”) The War On Drugs are preparing new episodes for a third season of their Super High Quality Podcast. Presented as a series of audio stories told by the band members and crew and featuring previously unreleased recordings, this oral history of their 2022 tour cycle goes behind the scenes to tell the story of a most extraordinary year on the road. Through music, intra-band stage chatter, and a focus on the band’s incredible light show, guitar tech Dominic East covers all the production ups and downs, and takes the story backstage, through airports and hotels, and out to the bus to reveal what it was like to put on an evening of LIVE DRUGS again, night after night.
