Watch The War On Drugs Play "Pain" on 'Kimmel'

'A Deeper Understanding' is out August 25.

Dylan-loving indie chaps The War On Drugs will release their fourth studio album, A Deeper Understanding, on August 25. Last night, they were the musical guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, bringing a pretty sedentary performance of their new single, "Pain," along with them. This, of course, is not a band that thrives on energy—they pre-empted this record with a meditative, 11-minute long song called "Thinking of a Place." In that context, Adam Granduciel's steady guitar solo last night is a moment of insane, fire-powered fury.
