The War on Drugs share new song, ‘Strangest Thing’

With six weeks to go until the release of The War On Drugs’ A Deeper Understanding, their fourth album and first on Atlantic Records, out August 25th, the band now presents another song, Strangest Thing. It premiered earlier today as Zane Lowe’s World Record. Strangest Thing follows Holding On,now top 10 at Triple A radio, and the 11-minute Record Store Day release Thinking of a Place.

A Deeper Understanding is The War On Drugs’ first album since 2014’s universally acclaimed Lost In The Dream. Produced by Granduciel and recorded in New York and Los Angeles with engineer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer), A Deeper Understanding is a ‘band record’ in the noblest sense featuring bassist Dave Hartley, keyboardist Robbie Bennett, drummer Charlie Hall and multi-instrumentalists Anthony LaMarca and Jon Natchez.
