Following on from their 2021 EP ‘Mommy Issues’, The Narcotix are set to release their debut album ‘Dying’ later this year. Out today is its first single ‘The Lamb’, a beguiling concoction of layered harmonies and intricate guitar parts that draw on math rock and African genres such as soukous and highlife.
Formed by Esther Quansah and Becky Foinchas in 2017 - and now working with guitarist Adam Turay, bassist Jesse Heasly and drummer Matt Bent - the duo’s new song shows off an absolute confidence in their vision.
Discussing the single, they say: "’The Lamb’ invites listeners, and all beings, to be fearlessly and relentlessly exposed. Through this whimsical waltz, we reimagine the ritual of communion through a dreamy, light-hearted gaze”.
“The ‘garden’ represents the deepest parts of the innermost, where the roots of our fears, traumas and subconscious desires reside”, they go on. “Though often portrayed as a frightening place worth avoiding, we highlight the glory that comes with exploring the unknown”.
"‘The Lamb’ is a sonic abduction to a mystical land inside oneself at the hands of perspicacious garden gnomes", they conclude.
