I Don't Live Here Anymore

I Don't Live Here Anymore is the fifth studio album by American indie rock band The War on Drugs.

[7] The songs on I Don't Live Here Anymore were all reimagined, rewritten and/or remixed multiple times over the course of the album's three-year recording process.

[7] The band announced the album on July 19, 2021, simultaneously releasing the single "Living Proof" with an accompanying video directed by Emmett Malloy.

"[19] Mark Beaumont of Classic Rock wrote that the album is "at its most immersive when they strip the moodscapes back to piano, glacial atmospherics and cracked emotion on 'Living Proof', 'Rings Around My Father's Eyes' and the rousing 'Old Skin', allowing a little fragility to tint their mist blue.

"[15] Writing for Beats Per Minute, John Amen concluded, "There’s something ungraspable about their music: referential yet original, derivative yet prototypical, memorable yet oddly irretrievable.

A listener is invited to encounter the assorted boundaries of their own preferences, biases, identity – to let those hard lines dissolve.

"[23] Sharon O'Connell of Uncut wrote, "The War On Drugs have fine-tuned their hybrid of American drivetime classicism and kosmische on I Don't Live Here Anymore and buffed it to a warm sheen.
