Grunge rocker Indio Downey releases video for title EP track Cigarettes in Bed

January 24, 2024

Grunge rocker Indio Downey has given us exactly what we need to make it through this week. He released the music video for the title track of his recently released EP, Cigarettes in Bed. Indio shares about the track, “‘Cigarettes in Bed’ is a love song about a previous relationship. When I felt overwhelmed by the weight of the world their company always gave me peace of mind. The visual of smoking cigarettes in bed is a glimpse into a time when being together helped us cope with our loneliness. It was produced by Jordan Miller and Jason Bell. We all took a trip to Hawaii and wrote and recorded the song while we were there. Their touch transformed a simple melody into a dynamic song with tasteful lyrics. It was truly a pleasure working with them!” Check out the video here: The catchy new track has us delving deeper into his EP as we are immediately captivated by his nostalgic yet modern melding of grunge, alternative and punk rock.
