0

Indie-alt-rock act NO CIGAR have released the chill and emotive new track ‘The Vibrance (Somebody To Blame)’. This is the second single to be released off their anticipated upcoming album, THE GREAT ESCAPE.

Here’s the blurb with details:

No CigarWarm guitars, spacious backing vocals and a captivating vocal performance from Willy Ferrier work together to create a subtle undertone of melancholy. Though sonically chill and carrying a steadily relaxed groove, ‘The Vibrance (Somebody To Blame)’ has an ache to it; mirroring the themes explored in the lyrics, of the “negative realities of dating a musician, or at least, this musician.”

“The track is really a reality check of what it’s like to be with a partner who is a songwriter and a creative – an individual with heightened sensitivities,” reflects vocalist and lyricist, Willy.

“That sensitivity has a double edge and sometimes you have to be careful that the highs and lows don’t impact the people around you. The song describes the importance of tempering those flames, so as to not take it out on those who love you.”

Made with support from NZ On Air, ‘The Vibrance (Somebody To Blame)’ was recorded between Roundhead Studios and Mangawhai during one of NO CIGAR’s writing sessions, and mixed and mastered by Connor Jaine (Mako Road, Flaxxies, Casper, Summer Thieves, Dolphin Friendly).

Today’s release is the second single to come from NO CIGAR’s upcoming album THE GREAT ESCAPE, and follows the recently released track ‘Make It Better’. Debuting at #11on the NZ Hot 40 Singles Chart, the single was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine, who also premiered the accompanying video – watch HERE.

NO CIGAR have quickly risen in the ranks of the New Zealand music industry as a band to watch. After recently releasing their debut album BIENVENIDO in September 2022, the band have gone on and played at some of New Zealand’s most exciting music festivals and sold out New Zealand and Australian tours over the last summer, selling over 2,500+ tickets across Australasia.

With singles ‘1999’, ‘Some Nights’ and ‘Say No More’ playlisted on ZM, Radio Haurakiand The Edge, NO CIGAR’s infectious chiller tunes have fast become a favourite with fans locally and abroad. Their track record has amassed over 6 million streams on Spotify alone and gained a monthly listenership of 150,000+ fans.

Stay tuned for the accompanying video for ‘The Vibrance (Somebody To Blame)’, set for release in the coming weeks.
