The War On Drugs: Lost in the Dream

Lost in the Dream is considered as the album that put The War On Drugs on the map, well, outside of The City of Brotherly Love, where up until that point the guitar-driven band was most widely known. It’s not often that the 4th album is the one to breakthrough, and it’s definitely not due to the band “selling out” or conforming to Alternative Rock music. They open on a nearly 8-minute track, Under Pressure, which demands the ear of the listeners. The album divulges a hypnotic production of rock n’ roll that clatters with vintage synth, blurry haze, and a reverb-soaked ambiance. This is not just music but an experience, and the set of tracks that lace this musical masterpiece feels like it breaks through the fog of our brains and enlightens our musical senses.

If only this could be the soundtrack to the moments that we are truly Lost in the Dream.

Big Star / #1 Record

Perhaps one of the most under the radar bands of all time, this is Big Star. The band had a brief existence, to some a name forgotten or never recognized.

With only three albums to the name, the band has inspired generations of indie sounds worldwide. Hailing from Memphis, their exuberant debut album, #1 Record, stands absolutely timeless—a never embraced tracklist of outright classics. The record itself didn’t hit any milestones when released in 1972, and barely sold much, but its magnetism can still be heard today in modern music.
