On their debut album Dying, Brooklyn art-rock band The Narcotix takes you on a journey exploring time, personal transformation, and life after death. Led by Esther Quansah and Becky Foinchas, their choral arrangements over psychedelic folk and West African polyrhythms, turn music into a sonic wonderland. From haunting to ebullient, Dying captures the band's deep bond as they tap into a visceral energy fueled by personal breakthroughs. In our interview with Quansah and Foinchas we talk vocal arrangements, songwriting, exorcisms in the studio, the birth of the album, and more.
