Swear I'm Good At This
on April 7 (Frenchkiss) and in advance of its' release today share a new single "Barf Day." The track, which was spun earlier today by Zane Lowe on his Beats1 radio show, premiered via
Stereogum
who note, "The delightfully titled "Barf Day" (embodies) what makes the pair's upcoming debut Swear I'm Good At This so enthralling: the featherweight garage grit, Luciano's subversive sincerity, and bandmate Noah Bowman's fist-pumping percussion...Against all odds, Diet Cig are coming of age on their own terms."
Listen to "Barf Day"
"Barf Day" comes on the heels of Diet Cig's video for their hook-ridden single "Tummy Ache." NPR called the song "undeniable" and the video "a near-utopian space of grrrl power, music and community." It was directed by Robert Kolodny and stars campers from the Willie Mae Girl's Rock Camp and Girl's Rock Philly.
"('Tummy Ache,' is) a surge of earnest aspiration laced with self-questioning...layers of fuzztone, feedback and backup vocals expand the soundstage and raise the stakes: 'Finally it's time to make my words count/in a way I haven't quite figured out,' she sings. The music insists she will." The New York Times
"Their twee stylings could easily become sickly sweet to a fault if mishandled, but Luciano's honeyed voice makes the sentimental songwriting relatable." Pitchfork on Tummy Ache
Vocalist Alex Luciano brings a lighthearted innocence to ('Tummy Ache') singing criticisms of the patriarchy in the most charming way." NylonSwear I'm Good At This is now available to pre-order HERE - it includes an instant grat of "Tummy Ache" and tomorrow will also include "Barf Day." Further, Diet Cig will be collaborating with Tuesday Bassen on limited-edition pink silk bomber jackets only available in the preorder bundles.
