Just a couple weeks after sharing the first offering ‘Up To You‘ from upcoming EP ‘Your Distraction’, Swym (aka Nassif Younes) has shared new song ‘That’s So Drugs, Man’. You can listen to the track below.

‘That’s So Drugs, Man’ presents Swym’s raw materials – ’60s psychedelia, with a dash of punk, melted down and remoulded into a sound that is unmistakably his. Lyrically the track is loaded with irony, and kicks off with a slow, strummy verse leading into a cocky, muscular, uptempo chorus.

Speaking of the track Nassif says: “I just liked the idea of using ‘drugs’ as an adjective. It even stuck with a couple of my friends for a while. The words came when I was sitting across from a circle of people at some hippy music festival. I was just imagining the kind of things they’d be saying to each other. I must have written over a 100 verses and then chose the best 4 for the song. I guess the “if you want, no that’s fine” bit is about having really big ideas when you’re high but never following through with them. I also wanted to sound like a trip so I put in lots of changes throughout the song. It’s full of tempo drops and instrument changes and the whole thing changes every 40 seconds. It’s quite silly but I like that kind of thing.”
