Listen to Diet Cig’s New Single “Who Are You?” From Forthcoming LP
Photo by Emily DubinIndie-rock duo Diet Cig are back with a new single to tease their forthcoming sophomore album, Do You Wonder About Me?, set to be released on May 1 through FrenchKiss Records. The new single is called “Who Are You?” and it’s joined by a minimalistic animated video.
“‘Who Are You?’ is for anyone who’s ever received a completely self-serving apology from someone who’s hurt them,” said the band in a press release. “I learned that healing doesn’t wait for an ‘I’m sorry’ to appear, and it can feel silly to have one arrive when you’re completely over it. This song takes these bad feelings and turns them into a fun upbeat jam to dance around in your kitchen to!”
Formed in New Paltz, New York, Diet Cig went form performing in college basements to joining the music industry at large with their 2017 album Swear I’m Good at This. The band relocated to Richmond, Va., in 2017 with the sole purpose of concentrating on their next album, which is now on the precipice of release. The first three tracks have been released ahead of the album—“Thriving,” “Night Terrors” and now “Who Are You?”
