Diet Cig Share New Single

July 10, 2015 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

I’m pretty sure we’ve shared some other great tracks from New York’s Diet Cig, and this is a yet another testament of their deserving place in your listening catalogue. They duo has a new single out digitally as of today called “Sleep Talk,” and you can take a listen to it below. You’ll note the prominent vocal performance of Alex Luciano, whose honest vocals and raw delivery dominate the song as she sings about a return home. Then you have the drums that take the wheel of the track and bring the tempo to a new speed as the song gets a little wild within the alt-rock genre. The single and it’s b-side, “Dinner Date” are out in physical format on September 18^th through Art is Hard and Father/Daughter Records. Pre-order it here.

More from Diet Cig

January 27, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This could be a really awesome year for Diet Cig; the duo is already building quite a name for themselves, which is a great deal considering they haven’t even released their EP, Overeasy. The songs are immediately accessible, and while I can see some similarities to bands like Tegan and Sara or Vivian Girls (minus the wall of noise), but I hear a lot of Juliana Hatfield. I’m having fun with the lyrical playfulness; they’re relatable, yet they still have a harsh punch for their intended audience. Look for Father Daughter to release the EP on February 24th.

Rachel from Field Mouse Records as Anomie

January 9, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Our friends over at Father/Daughter Records have had a busy week. The brought us the new Diet Cig track earlier this week, and now they’re bringing another catchy female-fronted pop track from Anomie, which is the recording project of Rachel of Field Mouse (no known relation to Field Mice!). This tune is a straight-ahead rocker; it’s the sort you just turn up to get some energy when you’re raring to go out. Her Anomie EP will be released by the label at the beginning of February (the 10th!), so if you just need a pick me up or a great song to send a friend, try this one on for size.

Pure Pop from Diet Cig

January 6, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We started out the morning with some heavier sounds, so let’s flip that over and visit the pop spectrum, albeit for a moment. This track from Diet Cig made it’s way to the world yesterday, and I’m jumping on board with the band’s catchy new song “Scene Sick.” The tune starts off well-enough, with a light ditty making its way to your eardrums, but the finest moments, in my eyes, are in the latter part of the song when guitars are turned up and the hooks sink their teeth into you. The group’s Over Easy EP will be available at the end of February courtesy of Father Daughter Records.
