Listen to NO CIGAR's New Album 'Under The Surface'

Selling out venues across the UK on tour earlier this year, NO CIGAR stick the landing with Under The Surface, the hugely popular Tāmaki Makaurau collective's third studio record. Embodying impassioned alt-rock-soul on their new album's opener / title track — steamrolling forwards with Pixies-esque grungy menace — NO CIGAR bundle together earlier singles 'Chantilly', 'Clean', 'Problem', 'Best Behaviour' and 'Russian Roulette', rounded out with six more fresh tunes laid down with producer Connor Jaine.

Illuminating their own space between contemporary coastal and sepia-tinted rustic reflections, album standout 'Maelstrom' receives a complimentary Live In London video session release, plus there'll be a bunch more live clips rolling out every Sunday from 10th August onwards. Fans better get a wiggle on if they want to catch NO CIGAR in the flesh touring their new record locally this spring — presented by Eccles Entertainment...

"The more clamorous portion of this body of work leans into that comfortability we feel with being raw and emotive on stage these days. With that being said, we did not neglect to flex our more pensive and soft-handed songwriting muscles, and there are a few numbers in the LP that shine in this regard. It's a journey. This energy has been brewing under the surface for a while. It's time we lift the veil to this new era of NO CIGAR."
