Album: I Don’t Live Here Anymore The War on Drugs.

The ‘Springsteen-esque’  I Don’t Live Here Anymore fifth album from The War on Drugs, and their first in four years. This album feels a bit more straight-forward than their previous albums, while still retaining the classic and familiar sound the band has been known for. I Don’t Live Here Anymore evokes the feelings of driving down dusty highways reminiscing on lost loves and lives lived.  I Don’t Live Here Anymore is available on Spotify.

Limited Series The Underground Railroad

From Barry Jenkins, the director of Moonlight, and adapted from Colson Whitehead’s novel of the same name, The Underground Railroad follows the story of Cora, a slave who escapes from a Georgia Plantation and boards a train seeking freedom.
