War On Drugs - Lost in the Dream - One Man's Review

Imagine, if you can, a neo--Travelling-Wilbury-esque amalgam including the haunting intersessions of the Boards of Canada, buffeting Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, a dollop of Mark Knofler, and Bruce Springstein playing in the rock&roll tradition a series of music that compels the listener to drive extra laps around the block every evening after work to get a second helping of his personal favorite, Red Eyes.  If you can audibly imagine such an array, you're barely underway embracing the mark that War on Drugs has etched into the groove of alternative rock&roll music with its album, Lost in the Dream.

Go out and get it.  Now.
