By now, you should already know that The War on Drugs is having their Record Release Party tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. But just in case for some reason that you’ve been disconnected from the internet and the outside world, I didn’t want you to miss out on what is going to be a fantastic evening of musicianship. I cannot express enough how much I’ve been enjoying the classic feeling yet forward thinking Slave Ambient. The album might have been a long excruciating wait, but you had to know that mastermind Adam Granduciel would never release anything until he felt it was ready. Well, he was finally ready. Now let’s see if the rest of the world is. (You can read about his meticulous recording process and more in our recent interview with Granduciel HERE.) The War on Drugs will be joined by pal Kiel Everett (bassist for Purling Hiss) whose side project Tin Horses should be a perfect compliment to the evening. Their debut album American Radiance is definitely one worth listening to over and over again (our review of it is available HERE). The local acts will also be hosting Caveman whose iridescent self-released full-length CoCo Beware helped earn them the cover of our latest edition of The Deli Magazine’s NYC print (which you can take a gander at online HERE) as well as accolades from major media outlets like Pitchfork, Fader and The New York Times. BTW: Yes, that’s a lot of Deli links that you need to check out, but at least, you’ll learn why this evening is not to be missed! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Q.D. Tran
