  On October 26, 2011, The War on Drugs performed a live set at the KEXP studio in Seattle, showcasing their evolving sound during a pivotal moment in their career. At this time, the band was promoting their critically acclaimed album, "Slave Ambient," which was released just a few months prior, in August 2011. This album marked a significant step forward in their musical style, integrating expansive guitar layers and atmospheric elements that would become characteristic of their sound. The live performance included tracks such as "Your Love Is Calling My Name" and "Come To The City," highlighting the emotive songwriting and rich instrumentation that have earned them a dedicated following.
