The track follows the excellent ‘Back to Basics’ from late last year
A band who have been releasing consistently stellar indie rock releases to increasing levels of acclaim, Scotland’s Dubinski have been earning praise on this site and beyond thanks to a propulsive and energetic style that is packed full of personality, guile, and a socially conscious, forward-thinking message.
Their latest single ‘Ciggy Burns’ is a typically engrossing release from the band of brothers, exploring the internal struggles that we face as two sides of our personality clash and try to influence our behaviours. Everything here from the driving rhythms, to the memorable riffs, to its relentless pacing makes for an instant classic of an indie rock release that puts their own distinctive slant on the genre.
“Ciggy Burns describes the struggle between two internal voices, one cruel and controlling, the other fragile and easily manipulated,” explains Eugene. “By the end, submission turns into resistance, and the quieter voice finds the strength to break free, highlighting how the way we speak to ourselves can shape both our mindset and our actions.”
