I Don't Live Here Anymore - Part 2
Over the course of recording I Don’t Live Here Anymore, The War On Drugs continued their obsessive exploration of the recording process in sessions at some of NY and LA’s most prestigious studios. One standout session was the three weeks the band and an extended circle of collaborators and friends, spent at Hollywood’s Electro Vox in the spring of 2019. A favorite of the band because it provides access to an outrageous palette of gear that playfully challenged the group’s experimental side, the Vox session was the center point of the IDLHA recordings. In this episode, the band revisits the keeper takes, wrong turns and discoveries that helped inch the songs closer toward completion. In addition to the 6 band members, guitarist Michael Bloch joins the conversation as the guys re-live the highlights of those memorable weeks at Vox.
