Red Eyes by The War on Drugs
“I'm a sucker for all things trippy and psychedelic anyway, but when I found The War on Drugs' "Lost in the Dream" album earlier this year...I flipped the f*ck out. It's easily one of my favorite albums from 2014, and I wouldn't hesitate to put it on a list with some of my all-time favorites (a list, btw, that includes every Arcade Fire album to date, the first three studio albums by Radiohead, and "Saucerful of Secrets" by Pink Floyd).”

“Red Eyes” is a stimulating voyage that gradually develops until you think it’s about to burst... and then it does.

2014 albums I just barely missed

The War on Drugs is a sextet based in Philadelphia; their third album, Lost in the Dream, came out in the spring of '14 and has found them a wide audience and, recently, a deal with Atlantic Records. I finally got around to making my Best of 2014 compilation this week, and this is on it; the next day I lucked into a ticket to a sold-out show by the band. It was the third or fourth show of theirs that I've seen, and they remain my favorite working live rock act of the moment. Frontman Adam Granduciel plays guitar like Neil Young and this is something the world needs more of.
