The War on Drugs have released two new songs, both coming from the new deluxe version of their 2021 album I Don't Live Here Anymore. "Oceans of Darkness" and "Slow Ghost" are out now.

"Oceans of Darkness" finds the band at their most triumphant and Springsteen-esque, with a pounding beat that hits the snare on every quarter note, grandiose pianos and roaring guitars.

"Slow Ghost" is a little more, well, slow and ghostly, with a stately acoustic guitar arrangement anchoring frontman Adam Granduciel's wistful, nostalgic lyrics.

Hear both songs below. The deluxe version of I Don't Live Here Anymore is on streaming services now, and the box set comes out this Friday (September 30) through Atlantic.
