STREAM: Diet Cig’s New Single “Link In Bio” | Album “Swear I’m Good At This” Out April 7th On Frenchkiss

DIET CIG REVEAL NEW SINGLE “LINK IN BIO”

DEBUT ALBUM SWEAR I’M GOOD AT THIS OUT APRIL 7TH VIA FRENCHKISS RECORDS

“Wide eyed, raucous pop” **** – Mojo

“A hefty emotional kick, charmingly raw” – Uncut

“Their twee stylings could easily become sickly sweet to a fault if mishandled, but Luciano’s honeyed voice makes the sentimental songwriting relatable.” – Pitchfork

“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.”” – Stereogum

On the heels of a busy SXSW complete with “sold out” shows, Diet Cig share the latest single off their forthcoming debut album Swear I’m Good At This. “Link In Bio” is revealed today.

STREAM ‘LINK IN BIO’:

The band’s Alex Luciano notes, “‘Link In Bio’ unpacks this idea that women + femmes should be any specific way and says uh NO. It’s an extra special fuck you to the notion of a ‘chill girl’ that I swear was created by cis men to make women + femmes feel bad about voicing their feelings. It’s me screaming that it’s okay to be loud and bossy and sensitive and kind and weird and angry and ecstatic and literally any other emotion that you feel because YOU ARE A RADIANT AND NUANCED HUMAN BEING WHO IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD <3.” “Link In Bio” is available via all DSPs.

Swear I’m Good At This is being released on April 7th (Frenchkiss). Since the albums announce the NY-based band has shared 2 additional singles, “Barf Day” and “Tummy Ache” to worldwide acclaim. Further, Diet Cig will be collaborating with Tuesday Bassen on limited-edition pink silk bomber jackets only available in the preorder bundles. Artist Faye Orlove has designed the tee & sticker sheet that’s is available with the preorder as well.

Diet Cig is Alex Luciano (guitar and vocals) and Noah Bowman (drums). The duo has been playing music together ever since Luciano interrupted the set of Bowman’s other band for a lighter. The New Paltz, New York duo have since released the infectious, 2015 Over Easy EP that introduced consistent sing-a-long lyrics with thrashing drums and strums that never held back. The New York Times labelled it “a lo-fi whirlwind, with songs cutting to the heart” and NPR, said the EP is “cathartic pop-punk with boundless vitality and wide-eyed charm” while Pitchfork chimed in calling it “a collection of brisk, personal pop-punk.”

Swear I’m Good At This accumulates Diet Cig’s tenacity for crafting life-affirming, relatable tales with a gutsy heart at their core. Luciano has the ability to write lyrics that are both vulnerable and badass, perfecting a storm of emotive reflection that creates a vision of a sweaty, pumped-up room screaming these lines in unison. Diet Cig make it okay to be the hot mess that you are.

But there’s also a deeper, more powerful fuck-you among the bangers that see Diet Cig grow into an unstoppable and inspiring force. “I’m not being dramatic, I’ve just fucking had it with the things that you say you think that I should be” spits Luciano on the album’s “Link in Bio;” “I am bigger than the outside shell of my body and if you touch it without asking then you’ll be sorry” she yells on “Maid Of The Mist’. It’s the sound of a band doing things on their own terms.

Swear I’m Good At This was produced, engineered and mixed by Christopher Daly at Salvation Recording Co. in New Paltz, NY with additional recording at Atomic Sound in New York City.
