Estimated:  reading

semiclone makes their smashing debut with their refreshing single 'HIJACKER' that captures the thrill of the chase when it comes to pursuing a romantic connection.

Produced by Nik Amarnani of Line In Productions and co-produced by Jordan Constantino of Valley of Chrome, the track establishes the band's alt indie-rock musical direction as it features vibrant and jangly riffs, hard-hitting chords, a banging bassline and an overall addictive funk and groove. The layered vocals blend together with the music to paint a picture that captures the yearning and ache that come with desire and love.

The story behind the name of the record, 'HIJACKER', is that it captures the rush of being swept up by someone who has the ability to numb all your senses and make your mind go blank with just a single glance, making it feel as though your rationality had been abducted. semiclone portrays the narrative behind the song in a cheeky way to capture the helplessness of the situation in a humorous light.
