I’m super excited to be working with indie-folk quintet Bottlemoth again, on the release of their new single ‘Landslides (people change)’, out on September 12th, taken from their debut album ‘Even us ghosts’ due for release October 17th 2024.
The follow up to July’s debut single ‘Tattoo’, and August’s surprise double singles ‘You’ll Always Have Us // Everything Works Out In The End’, championed by Fame Magazine, RTE, The Most Radicalist and Spotify and Apple editorial playlists, ‘Landslides (people change)’ is a song 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.”
