The War on Drugs are the latest act to partake in the Spotify Singles series. As with past contributions, the band recorded a live take of one of their own tracks as well as a cover song at Spotify Studios NYC.

For their own song, TWOD delivered Holding On, the lead single off their forthcomingA Deeper Understanding. The bands choice of cover was Warren Zevons ballad Accidentally Like a Martyr. While remaining largely faithful to the original, TWODs unmistakably psychedelic take on heartland sounds amplifies the guitar bends throughout. Take a listen:
