about

“Nicotine” builds from twitchy beats, wary vocals and guitar/keyboard turbulence to the wide-screen drama of its explosive choruses. With Nigel Godrich-inspired production, the band rides a wave of mesmerizing emotive textures a la Lake Trout and Dismemberment Plan. The lyrics explore the uncomfortable and near-constant state of being marketed to - by someone, by everything - surrendering with the refrain “you know I got hooked again”.

lyrics

I feel like a cigarette

(then think to yourself "no!")

Are you addicted yet
to my taste?

Like feeding your heart with nicotine
(You know I got hooked again)
It could take your breath away
Like feeding your heart with nicotine
(You know I got hooked again)
Breathe it in the easy way

I can hardly taste
What you’re feeding me
A shortness of breath
Marking your time
(Visualize various situations)
Buy everything we sold you
The cheapest high

Like feeding your heart with nicotine
(You know I got hooked again)
It could take your breath away
Like feeding your heart with nicotine
(You know I got hooked again)
Breathe it in the easy way

(And you feel this now, it’s a good feeling)
You know I got hooked again
(To my taste)
You know I got hooked again

They’ve been described as “if the guys from Dismemberment Plan met up at Wilco’s loft to play some Pink Floyd and The Black Crowes covers.” ... more
