Indie-folk five-piece Bottlemoth reveal new single

Music Review | 26th Sept, 2024 Bottlemoth

2024 has been a positive year for Indie-Folk band Bottlemoth, since releasing their debut, Tattoo, followed by the double singles You'll Always Have Us/Everything Works Out In The End, which received high critical praise and multiple airplays.

The band return with their latest brand of Indie-Folk releasing the single Landslides, taken from their upcoming debut album Even Us Ghosts, set for release on 17th October, 2024.

The new single, Landslides (People Change), is about starting over, returning home and tackling the big moments of change.

Discussing what they hoped to explore lyrically with this track, vocalist and lyricist Ethan Proctor explains;

Sometimes change is expected, and sometimes it's a surprise. It can be terrifying, though more often than not change can be necessary. The last few years have been a bit of a whirlwind, and I first wrote this song when Chess and I moved back to Somerset from London. It was a real period of reflection and change for the band. We can dwell on things, we can hunker down in a rut. Taking some time to look inward is important, and I can forget that. It's a cool revelation to think we are forever finding ourselves again and again.

'Trust me when I say, I know' is a phrase that felt really prominent at the time and became the last repeating lyric of the song.

A few of us in the band have always been Math Rock fans, and I've long had a soft spot for songs that count in seven, though hadn't written in that signature before. Within Landslides, the seven count really pushes the momentum along creating a cyclical and uncertain feel. That felt like a cool juxtaposition for all the song is about, leaving a moment for release in the chorus returning to four. It's not quite the Math Rock band dream I've forever flirted with in my mind, but it's a toe in the water which was really fun to put together.
