Sweet Pill have unveiled their latest single ‘Smoke Screen’, marking the final preview from their upcoming album‘Still There’s A Glow’, due 13th March via Hopeless.
Discussing the inspiration behind the track, vocalist Zayna Youssef explains, “This song is sorta like the inner monologue of battling your self doubt. The album has a lot of lyrics about burning or any sort of thing associated with fire: ‘Sun Blind’ mentions a sun, ‘Glow’ references haze, ‘Slow Burn’ with cigarettes and literally slow burning!
“For ‘Smoke Screen,’ I see myself being destructive like fire, not easy to contain and ruining everything I touch, spreading fast. Sometimes we need to slow down and clear the voices out of our head. Or in this case, blow away the smoke screen and have a little clarity. So unlike ‘Glow,’ where I want to be blanketed in ignorance, ‘Smoke Screen’ has this yearn to get out of the smoke and open my eyes.”
The band, comprising Youssef, guitarists Jayce Williams and Sean McCall, bassist Ryan Cullen, and drummer Chris Kearney, will appear at Download Festival in the UK in June.
