- The band’s music has often resonated during unsettled times.

## Summary

The War on Drugs have released their first new single, ‘Who’s That’, as they prepare to follow up 2021’s *I Don’t Live Here Anymore*. Adam Granduciel says the next album is complete, ending a five-year gap and raising expectations for how the band’s music will speak to a changed world.

The article looks back at how the band’s releases have coincided with periods of upheaval, while noting that Granduciel has not set out to make overtly political music. Their 2021 album took three years to make across seven studios and received strong critical praise; ‘Harmonia’s Dream’ was nominated for Best Rock Song at the 2023 Grammys. The piece suggests the new record may again resonate beyond Granduciel’s personal experiences.
