Kidsmoke return with first new music in five years, "I’m Always Getting Carried Away"

The new track, written on New Year's Day, follows the band's 2020 debut album, A Vision In The Dark. It was partly inspired by vocalist and guitarist Lance Williams' time visiting a dementia support group, of which he says, “It made me appreciate how our memories bind us together… I think I was trying to highlight how precious the little moments are.”

Speaking about the single, Williams explains, “The lyrics came really quickly and are built around the song’s title, playing with the meaning of being ‘carried away’, whether it be emotionally or physically.”

Discussing the inspiration behind the music, bassist James Stickels adds: “I know I wanted it to sound like a song I’d of written in the early 00’s, so I was channelling The Strokes, Bloc Party, Futureheads sort of thing… It’s deliberately simple, written from a place of nostalgia and longing for simpler times.”
