Diet Cig will be releasing their debut album “Swear I’m Good at This” on April 7th, 2017, on Frenchkiss Records, and in advance of its' release they share a new single in album highlight “Barf Day”.
The track, which was spun first this week 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” below.
“Barf Day” comes on the heels of Diet Cig's video for their hook-ridden single “Tummy Ache”, which saw significant support in the UK (from blogs to broadsheets to the main monthlies) and internationally. 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.
“Swear 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 pre-order bundles. Artist Faye Orlove has designed the tee & sticker sheet that's is available with the pre-order as well.
