Last month California's Draag announced their upcoming EP Miracle Drug with its ripper of a title track, which we named one of the Best Songs Of The Week. Today the off-kilter indie rockers are following that up with another good one called "NSPS."
"NSPS" is a hypnotic slow-burner that builds off seemingly endless loops of steady drums, scintillating guitars and synths, and smooth vocals. Draag's Adrian Costa says of its backstory:
I wrote "NSPS" on my 10 year sobriety anniversary. I’ve come very far in my sobriety journey and don’t struggle as much as I used to. Sometimes I miss my drunken days, but without needing to go back. On my 10 year sobrieversary, I spent a lot of time reflecting on past relationships and saw how many were taking advantage of me. I remember the person I was back then, and I wanted approval so bad, even if it meant being abused by so called friends and partners. When I drive through the valley (818), I often drive through specific locations and landmarks in my life where abysmal and ridiculous events occurred during my drinking days. I still love this place and it’s still my place of comfort.
