When it came to crafting their latest single, “Addo”, Adwaith returned to their writing roots, creating their music over the course of hours from an ever changing idea.
Featuring James Dean Bradfield, “Addo” wasn’t just crafted in nostalgia, the band went back to their heroes, the alternative rock femme fatales that paved the roads before them like that of Juliana Hatfield, Hole, Breeders, and Liz Phair.
On the song, the band explains,
“‘Addo’ is about relationships in life that drain you. It’s about caring deeply for someone self destructive who doesn’t care about themselves, and how when you’re involved in these relationships, it distorts your view of the world and the people around you.”
What’s fantastic about “Addo” is that if you’re familiar with the aforementioned icons, you’re immediately taken back to the beautiful rise of feminism of Generation X. And like those before them, Adwaith, in their own way, are laying the groundwork for a new generation of feminism and fierceness. One that offers wisdom that one needs to take of themselves and that perhaps they are better off without the relationship that brings one down.
