Today the Toronto band Ducks Ltd. (fka Ducks Unlimited) dropped the music video for 18 Cigarettes.
The leading single is taken from the upcoming debut album Modern Fiction which comes out on October 1, 2021 via Royal Mountain Records (CAN) and Carpark Records (USA/ROW).
Cool and upbeat jangly indie pop tune that feels very Alvvays or 80s & 90s UK Indie Pop vibe.
About the track:
On lead single “18 Cigarettes,” Eliza Neimi hops on to play cello.
The track was loosely inspired by a 1997 Oasis performance of “Don’t Go Away.”
“The thing I came to love about the song after watching that performance over and over again is that it’s a song that kind of tells on itself,” says McGreevy.
“It’s a really raw emotional expression from someone whose capacity to talk about their feelings is stunted and they’re cut up about it. ‘18 Cigarettes’ is kind of an attempt to do a different version of what that song does.” The video, directed by Ali Vanderkruyk, features McGreevy running around Toronto.
