Diet Cig Celebrate A “Barf Day” On Their Own Terms In New Single

The duo’s new song gets into the ups and downs of birthdays.

Diet Cig have shared a second single from their upcoming debut full length, Swear I’m Good At This. With a title that sums up how one comes to regard their birthday with each successive year, “Barf Day” catalogs a series of disappointments on one lonely such day. The song is structured like a snowball tumbling down a ski slope, building in momentum and frustration, until vocalist and guitarist Alex Luciano drops all pretenses and declares that she just want to have ice cream on her birthday. The pay off to the build up is a triumphant half-time coda, where an overdubed chorus of Lucianos provide a cascading counterpoint to her confessional, confectionary mantra.

Listen to “Barf Day” below. Swear I’m Good At This is out April 7 via Frenchkiss Records. Diet Cig will be celebrating the album release with two shows at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn that same day.
