NYC's Diary new EP Speedboat is loosely inspired by Renata Adler’s novel of the same name and is about living in New York City and the neuroses that come with it. “We’ve always been an NYC band but never fully explored what that meant to us. Living here and playing music here there’s a ceaseless oscillation between anxiety and anticipation. Even as you sleep and dream about the buildings and the hum of the street. Musically, we turned to Sister-era Sonic Youth, early Dinosaur Jr, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Drop Nineteens. But at the end of the day, we just love big hooky pop songs that run super loud and fuzzy."

Acid Coffin is an homage to the sounds of Ghost Box Records but also to stuff like the Pixies or Ultra Vivid Scene. It’s a song about being stuck in a loop and replaying different images in your mind over and over.
