Katie Gavin shares second solo single, “Casual Drug Use”
Katie Gavin has shared “Casual Drug Use” as the second track from her forthcoming debut solo album, What A Relief.
Speaking of the track, Gavin says: “This is a song about being young and on bad behavior, and the comfort of having friends by your side. I wrote it in 2016 after a day trip I took with a friend, and so I thought it would be sweet to film the video on a road trip I had planned with my childhood best friend. The different colored potions in the video are meant to be a stand-in for whatever external substance we use to change our internal states.“
“Casual Drug Use” comes off the heels of “Aftertaste” a song which indulges in the headrush of new romance.
“That song takes place inside of the magnetic force, when I’m really drawn to somebody and still feeling like it’s gonna work,” she says. “Sometimes it’s fun to surrender to that feeling – I think a lot of songwriters have a strong relationship with romantic fantasy.”
What A Relief will be released on 25 October via Saddest Factory Records, and is available to pre-order now.
