Sorry, Dominic Fike! Here&#8217;s what I can do to make it up to you: a blog post about your new album announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Fike will release How To Quit Smoking in early October, which is a lot sooner than you think. In the text below his video for lead single &#8220;Wallflower,&#8221; he says it was &#8220;written, performed, &amp; produced in real time on the road.&#8221; The song does have a momentum that suggests a tour bus cruising down a highway. With its stabbing guitars and classically inclined pop vocals, it reminds me of when Beck rocks out, except in a lighter weight class.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Wallflower&#8221; video was &#8220;shot in asheville, north carolina&#8221; and &#8220;released from charlottesville, virginia,&#8221; and you can watch it below.<\/p>\n<p>How To Quit Smoking is out 10\/9 on Columbia.
