BOTTLEMOTH TATTOO

‘Tattoo’ is the debut single from indie-folk five-piece Bottlemoth. Their emotive sound is influenced by the likes of Gaslight Anthem and Frightened Rabbit, as a tender vocal delivery matches perfectly with an uplifting, warm soundscape presented via their trademark tight arrangements. On the track’s wistful lyrics, the band say: “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.” The track is accompanied by a fantastic music video, shot by Dawn Realm. Make sure to check it out and keep an eye out for the band’s upcoming debut album, Even Us Ghosts. -Dan Peeke
