Norway | This Daze - "Cigarette smile"

BRAND NEW

This Daze come from Trondheim, Norway, with their self-described fuzz-pop. Established in 2019 and gaining ground in the local music scene, they now land on Sounds European! with their latest single, "Cigarette smile". The song is the perfect mix between pop, rock and grunge sounds.

On the track, the band comments that it is "the colourful person outside the pub with a cig between their lips. The song portrays adolescent themes of distant love together with the figurative and literal fear of meeting each other. (...) This song for us encapsulates the feelings of youth and being young. We feel that both the lyrics, the attitude of our performances and the urgency of the song reflects being young".

On the track, Cristóvam comments: "I think there's a beautiful parallelism between spring and youth, and I'm hoping that we captured some of it in this song. It was [written on] a sunny morning and the sunlight had this tonality that reminded me of an old photo I had from 2009. That photograph was taken on a holiday trip with a group of friends. We were all teenagers, some of us approaching 20 and going through that nostalgic feeling of reaching the twilight of your youth. I always think of that specific photo as the perfect representation of the golden days of mine".
