Doused in a haze of delicate guitar refrains and ethereal soundscapes, ‘Addiction’ is a glorious new single from Colombia Mills. The song pivots around a driving rhythmic pulse that rushes with adrenaline while a chugging bassline groove’s alongside a chiming guitar to create a light and airy atmosphere. Each subsequent listen reveals the deft musical prowess this band possesses – from catchy refrains to psychedelic undertones the track is a musical treat to the ears and becomes more intricate and layered as it progresses. ‘Addiction’ is a beautifully crafted tune that showcases the emotive songwriting and musical talent of Columbia Mills in all its glory. Enjoy.

Speaking about ‘Addiction’ lead singer Fiachra Treacy said: “In society, there seems to be a lack of sympathy towards addicts, particularly those on the margins of society. The song tells the story of the hopeless cyclical nature of addiction. We have framed the song with a euphoric upbeat sound to try and disguise it as a love song. There is an effort to highlight the strength of addiction and compare it with the helpless feeling of falling in love and losing control- something everyone can sympathise with.”
