Hazy rockers The Parrots are back with another woozy number "Cigarette Burns".
"Cigarette Burns" is The Parrots' first offering of the year, arriving after 2018's "My Love Is Real" and "Girl", both produced by The Horrors' Tom Furse.
Offering more on the new track, frontman Diego expands, "People grow, the city shrinks, love is like a wave, hits you again and again… fight against the predictable or fall into boredom, don’t give in to the meaninglessness of some relationships and take control of your own decisions."
The Parrots have been working towards their follow-up to their 2016 debut album Los Niños Sin Miedo.
"Cigarette Burns" is out now. The Parrots tour the US. Find out more. Revisit our Reference Points feature with The Parrots.
