“I blow some minds,” says indie-rock hero Kurt Vile in the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now. “But it’s hard to blow everyone’s mind.” And yet Vile is still doing his best to do so, in his distinctly ambling, low-key way, as the trippy greatness of his new album (and belated major-label debut) Watch My Moves suggests.

There are too many Bob Dylan references to count in “I Don’t Live Here Anymore,” the latest arena-ready single from the War on Drugs. Some are lyrical nods to beloved songs like “Shelter From The Storm,” “It Ain’t Me Babe,” and “Standing in the Doorway.” Others are even more on-the-nose, like the moment where Adam Granduciel’s narrator gets caught up in nostalgia over a Never Ending Tour gig: “Like when we went to see Bob Dylan/We danced to ‘Desolation Row.'”

The War on Drugs have released a new song, “Living Proof,” from their upcoming album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, out October 29th via Atlantic Records.
“Living Proof” finds War on Drugs frontman Adam Granduciel singing sweetly over a swift acoustic strum. Piano, atmospheric synths, and spare percussion help build the song, but there’s not so much an explosion at the song’s peak as an exhale into a tender guitar solo.

Late last month, the Killers posted an Instagram Live video that sent their fan community into a state of hysteria. It not only shows them at work on a follow-up to their 2020 LP Imploding the Mirage, but it reveals that estranged guitarist Dave Keuning is back in the fold. There’s been no official announcement about his return, but the masked man at the 12-second mark is unquestionably Keuning. We’d recognize that hair anywhere.

The War on Drugs returned to late-night to deliver a virtual performance of “Arms Like Boulders” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
After premiering their new song “Ocean of Darkness” via a similar virtual setup on an October episode of The Tonight Show, the band dug deep into catalog for their latest appearance, playing a track from their 2008 debut album Wagonwheel Blues.

Frontman Adam Granduciel and company recently hinted that the War on Drugs were at work on a follow-up to 2017’s A Deeper Understanding, and the first evidence of that new music came with the arrival of the “unreleased” song, as Jimmy Fallon called the track.

The live version of “Pain” — which originally appeared on 2017’s A Deeper Understanding — exchanges some of the slick studio polish for a bit of immediacy, best captured in the crackling guitar solo and Granduciel’s clenched-fist vocals: “I’ve been pulling on a wire, but it just won’t break,” he sings,” I’ve been turning up the dial, but...

Kurt Vile was sitting in the Butcher Shoppe studio in Nashville last December when he floated a pipe-dream idea to producer Dave Ferguson. Vile was slated to perform at the Grand Ole Opry with his hero John Prine two nights later and asked if Ferguson would call the songwriting legend and ask if he felt like dropping by the studio.
“Ferg was like, ‘What are you doing, Prine?’” Vile recalls. “Prine was like, ‘I’m watching the game!’”

Minutes after the release of the Killers’ new album Imploding the Mirage, the band celebrated its arrival with a performance of “Blowback” on The Late Show.
While Brandon Flowers and company’s early-in-the-quarantine late-night TV performances saw them performing Imploding songs in their own bathroom and their recording studio, “Blowback” was somewhat of a return of normalcy for the band, who played the song together — yet kept social distance — from their concert stage.
The Killers previously debuted “Blowback” on CBS This Morning with a rendition from the band’s Utah studio.

The Killers have released the new song “Dying Breed” from their upcoming album Imploding the Mirage, set to arrive August 21st via Island Records.
“Dying Breed” finds the Killers at their triumphant best, riding a steady, but tightly-wound chug over the course of the song’s first two minutes, then blowing it up at the halfway mark into full-on arena rock glory. “From the coveted touch a girl in love,” Brendan Flowers sings, “I was lifted by the sound of a spirit in need/Baby, we’re a dying breed.

Last month, the Rolling Stones released “Scarlet,” a funky 1974 Jimmy Page co-jam that was previously lost to time — initially born of a session in Ronnie Wood’s basement. Friday, they’re out with a remix courtesy of the War on Drugs.
Frontman Adam Granduciel turns the song into a psychedelic dance party by giving the track a pulsing new groove that kicks into double-time for the chorus — chopping and manipulating the song’s riff to create a trippy wall of sound.

“My Own Soul’s Warning” will open Imploding the Mirage, and it’s a fittingly grand first statement.

The Killers burned through a stripped-back version of their recent song “Caution” on Monday’s Ellen. The quartet, whom Ellen DeGeneres introduced as “one of [her] favorite bands,” played the song remotely.
Frontman Brandon Flowers alternated between piano and synthesizer, soaring to the high register of his voice on the pre-chorus. The group backed him with a sturdy surge of bass, acoustic guitar and drums — but not the electric guitar solo from former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham, who appears on the studio version.

When the Killers began work on their new album, Imploding the Mirage, they had virtually everything they needed: a batch of new songs, a seven-month break from the road, and a large home studio nestled away in Park City, Utah, where they could work and live without distraction. The only thing missing was their guitarist, Dave Keuning.
Keuning started the band back in 2001, when he took out an ad in a Las Vegas newspaper looking for local musicians to play with. The first song he wrote with future Killers frontman...

At most film festivals — and especially at Sundance — attendees trip over themselves to get into the most buzzed-about (and often overhyped) screenings. Happily, this leaves more space for film fans hoping to find some under-the-radar discoveries. “Light from Light” feels like a familiar festival indie in its quirky setup and modest production values. But it also boasts a rare, quiet honesty, and a lead performance from Marin Ireland that’ll haunt you for days.
Haunting is, in fact, the name of the game here, since Ireland’s Shelia is a bit of a ghost hunter. She’s ambivalent about it, as she seems to be about a lot of things. But her uncertainty is reasonable, given how overwhelmed she is as a single mom trying to raise a teenage son while working full-time at a soul-crushing car rental service.
Still, when she gets a call from the recently-widowed Richard (Jim Gaffigan), she’s intrigued.

Follow a long strip of one-lane blacktop through the woods off New York State Route 28 and you’ll find a spooky old estate called Big Indian Springs. A 20-bedroom Victorian hall perched on 37 acres of rolling Catskill foothills, it was once a summer camp for young women who worked in garment factories; now it’s an Airbnb. With faded portraits lining the walls and spiders and frogs crawling across the mossy lawn, the vibe is somewhere between Dirty Dancing and The Shining, depending on how paranoid you’re feeling.

The key ingredients for any great music fest include a stellar and eclectic lineup and a scenic venue, and the 2018 edition of Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, checked both those boxes. Situated on the banks of the Ohio River, where the views at sunset are worth a ticket price alone, Waterfront Park hosted the largest crowd in the festival’s 16-year year history, as fans assembled to see headliners Chris Stapleton, Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse. Rolling Stone was on-site, putting together this list of the 15 best things we witnessed over the weekend.

The War on Drugs performed their shimmering ballad "In Chains" on Late Night With Seth Meyers Monday.
The performance found singer-guitarist Adam Granduciel and his band in a steady groove. Heavy percussion complemented the rich layers of piano, guitar, synthesizer and saxophone on "In Chains." And Granduciel's winding guitar solo brought the performance to a dramatic close.
"In Chains" appears on the War on Drugs' 2017 album, A Deeper Understanding, which won the 2018 Grammy for Best Rock Album. The record found Granduciel attempting to channel the work of artists like Warren Zevon and Bruce Springsteen.

I’m knitting like crazy,” says Krysten Ritter, scanning bins of yarn at the Little Knittery, a store not far from her home in the Hollywood Dell. She’s been traveling like crazy, too, she says, “so now I need a hobby just for me.” The breakneck schedule stems from the arrival of the Netflix series Jessica Jones, the adaptation of the Marvel comic Alias that was released in 13 ripe-for-bingeing episodes last month and is already showing up on year-end top-ten lists (including ours). At the moment, she’s relishing the opportunity to stay put for a few weeks. Some months back, she rediscovered a half-finished blanket when her boyfriend, the War on Drugs lead singer Adam Granduciel, moved in with her, and now here she is, sizing up a red skein of thick-and-thin yarn. “I’m definitely going to buy that,” she says. “I want to do something loose...
