The War on Drugs - "Lost in the Dream"

What a brilliant, brilliant album.  The War on Drugs, with lead singer Adam Granduciel, channels all the best parts of 80's rock to create a near-flawless LP that takes the listener on a journey.  

The War on Drugs

It's easy to hear the influence of Springsteen, Hornsby, and Dylan in his songs.  The songs are abound with hazy guitar riffs, saxophone swells, strong piano chords and raw vocals.  It's an infectious rock album which will appeal to generations of music fans (i.e., both us and our Dads).

Also helping their cause:  they're fantastic live.  Watch "Red Eyes" from their live set at KEXP below:
