Dutch Interior releases a new single/video, “Ecig,” the group’s debut for Fat Possum Records. They will tour throughout the US in July and August, including a co-headline show at Elsewhere in New York City on July 13th.The band will play additional shows with DIIV, Horse Jumper of Love, and julie.

Dutch Interior is the project of lifelong friends Jack Nugent, Conner Reeves, brothers Shane Barton and Hayden Barton, Davis Stewart, and Noah Kurtz. Most of the band have known each other since elementary school, still live together, and have a distinct conception of California, where they have spent pretty much their entire existence. Today, the LA county collective. Initially, they had simple goals: to write, finish, and mix a song all in one day on a tape recorder supplied by Reeves. Each band member had been writing music individually, and the house provided a space to workshop and flesh out ideas (“throwing songs at the wall to see what stuck”).

“”Ecig” was once a quiet, pensive song, before practicing it and failing to stick to an initial recording of the song,” explains the band. “At rehearsal one day, Connor began strumming the fuzzy drone that would become the main rhythm guitar part, and in just a single play through, the entire band figured out their parts and all of them stuck. The song’s lyrical content tries to understand the feelings left over from betrayal through images that are dead but linger in a physical form that is difficult or impossible to dispose of: a rusted swing set, dried blood, circling buzzards, or a disposable vape. ‘Ecig’ is an early song of ours that evolved through many phases as we played it live. Being the first synthesis of the noisier aspects of our live set into a studio recording, it is a perfect bridge from our last record into what is coming next.”
