the forthcoming EP of the same name<\/u><\/a> \u2014 their first new music since 2024\u2019s lauded Actually, the quiet is nice<\/i>.<\/p>\nCombining screamo, shoegaze and dream-pop elements, Draag give off a thick, swirly sound that\u2019s as modern as it is nostalgic. But don\u2019t let the dreamy elements fool you; this song is about the harsh realities and hurdles of life, told from a very personal perspective<\/p>\n
Vocalist Adrian Acosta shared, \u201cLiving with an autoimmune condition is an invisible daily fight. Some days, you want a miracle drug to escape what feels like a prison in your body. But you don\u2019t take your health for granted. And you learn how to appreciate life and super simple moments deeply. I feel like it\u2019s given me a sharp vision of what really matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
The full EP from Draag arrives Jan. 23 via Smoking Room Records, and you can hear the title track as part of this episode by hitting the \u201cListen\u201d button at the top of the page.<\/p>\n
