New York, NY (Top40 Charts) If you've been craving another fix from NY grunge-rockers, Candy Ambulance, you're in luck - their new single "Cooks In the Kitchen" is out today! The track premiered on Kill the
Music earlier this week, providing a taste of the band's more mellow side. Written as "a love song to alcohol," you can expect a woozy ride to the dark side, with some unexpected twists and turns along the way.
Opening with the sound of water trickling in the background, a very open, raw, and live atmosphere is built for the track. The band described the song as "written in a lonely, empty space and recorded in the same," as lead vocalist Caitlin Barker provides a powerful solo vocal intro, with a simple guitar melody in support, before the full band kicks in.
Candy Ambulance had the pleasure of recording in the comfort of their own home, which comes across as an honest and fresh sound throughout all of their tracks on their upcoming EP Spray. "We've built a respectable in-home studio over the years we've been a band so it was a blast recording Spray at our place," they described. "It was liberating to jump around or scream to pull up some energy. Caitlin did vocal takes lying on the floor and kicking her legs. We think it translated that we were pumped."
"Cooks In the Kitchen" comes as the third single off the band's upcoming EP Spray, which will be out on February 16. Previous singles include "Weekday" and the title track "Spray". The band is preparing to kick off a east coast / mid-western U.S. tour in support; dates below. The band commented, "Touring is such a badass experience that we look forward to more each time we get out there. Like, 'who will we meet/where will we sleep/how long can we survive on hard boiled eggs and PBR?'. Not everyone's ideal way to spend time but we thrive on it."
"Cooks In the Kitchen" and previous singles are available for stream and purchase now on Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify and all major digital retailers.
