NO CIGAR have released their new album Under the Surface.
The album features the previously released tracks “Clean”, “Best Behaviour”, “Problem” and “Chantilly”, and follows their 2023 release The Great Escape, which reached the Top 20 on the Official NZ Album Chart.
The Kiwi indie-rock band described the record as their “most dynamic album to date.”
“Just as we’ve grown as people in the last few years since our first album, so too has the music. We never set out to make music that is ‘heavier’ or ‘softer’; we just find the time to lock ourselves away from the world, get comfortable, and open the floodgates. The way the heavier tones in the album balance nicely with softer numbers make for our most dynamic album to date. NO CIGAR like you’ve never seen it before.”
To celebrate the album, NO CIGAR will tour across Australia and New Zealand this October and November.
“We’re coming home Aussie (it feels like it anyway – we know you’ll claim us as your own some day). It’s been a minute. We love you, and can’t wait to share our brand new album with you. Prove to us why Aussie crowds are the best in the world. We’ll bring the noise, you bring the energy. Vise versa.”
