Indie-folk five-piece Bottlemoth Unveil stunning debut single

Music Review | 12th July, 2024 Bottlemoth

Formed in January 2024 by the former members of Bridges, Bottlemoth are an indie folk group with a sound that is honest, heartfelt, emotive and dynamic.

The first release from the band Tattoo, is taken from the soon to be released debut album, and showcases how the band have developed their unique sound.

The single combines emotive vocals and wistful lyrics with uplifting sounds-capes. Lyrically Tattoo is a personal thought on the passing of time, permanence and change, whilst at its core is a heartfelt celebration of love and friendship.

Discussing the lyrical themes behind the single, vocalist and lyricist Ethan Proctor says;

I got my first tattoo when Chess and I met. Henry and Tom had lots already, and I'd maybe thought too much about the permanence before. Etching memories and art into your skin can be a wonderful thing, and I now have the buzz. Collecting them has become a real hobby now, but I don't think I'll ever be covered.

I think people that can be fully covered in tattoos must have a strong sense of who they are, and that's inspiring to me. We can riddle ourselves with doubt, and sometimes it's hard to just do it

Thinking on friendships that never change and on the people that will always be there, the lyrics came together. There is a synergy there with ink that lasts forever and those that will always be by your side. It's a song about being lucky; it's a song about things changing, and a song for when they never need to.
