Luke Spiller has announced the release details of his forthcoming debut solo record, Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine, set to arrive on April 25th. The album pre-order is now live alongside the new single, ‘The Ending Is Always The Same’.
The new single tells the story of an ill-fated love that feels like a vice. “It’s a classic scenario where you decide to break things off, but step into the murky waters of ‘let’s be friends,’” Spiller says. “Then, before you know it, you’re hooking up and getting back together and going through the cycle again.” But is the protagonist addicted to the drama of it all? Does it make him feel alive? “It’s a song that comes with a warning label,” he adds, “Don’t try this at home.”
From the lush opener and title track, ‘Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine’, to the earnest and heartfelt ‘She’s Just Like California’, the record is an introduction to a vulnerable, and often publicly hidden, side of the flamboyant frontman.
Freshly uninhibited and entirely unapologetic, Spiller worked alongside producer Jon Levine (Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Drake) and guitarist/producer Jason Falkner (St. Vincent, Air, Beck) on the 10 new tracks that, despite their intimate nature, don’t shy away from bombastic strings and over-the-top orchestration.
“In terms of big sound and theatrics, those come naturally to me,” he says. “That’s the way I’ve always written, and that wasn’t an issue. This was a case of finding great lyrics that told a great story with truth and vulnerability. I really wanted to tell my own story in this record.” And on Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine, he’s done just that.
