The War On Drugs - "Baby Missiles"

The War On Drugs have announced their second full-length, Slave Ambient. Recorded in pieces over the last four years in Asheville, North Carolina and at frontman Adam Granduciel's home studio in Philadelphia, the 12-track LP comes hot on the heels of the band's critically acclaimed 2010 EP, Future Weather. In fact, the first single off Slave Ambient is a slightly reworked version of Future Weather standout, "Baby Missiles"—a track that "chugs and propels forward with the speed of a locomotive on a serious dose of methamphetamine."

Slave Ambient is out August 16th on Secretly Canadian.

Here's the video for "A Needle In Your Eye" off the band's 2008 debut, Wagonwheel Blues, which boasts a heady and psychedelic web of Western iconography (cowboys, Indians, cattle, the great plains).
