Bottlemoth Releases New Song “Landslides (People Change)”
British indie-folk band Bottlemoth, consisting of Ethan Proctor Williams (vocals/guitar), Chessa Proctor Williams (vocals/Keyboards), Matt Bond (vocals/lead guitar), Henry Matthews (bass) and Tom Farkas (drums), released their brand new song “Landslides (People Change)” on September 12, 2024.
The song is taken from their upcoming debut album “Even Us Ghosts”, which is set to be released on October 17, 2024.
It's a song about starting over, returning home and tackling the big moments of change.
The band recored the song at the band themselves across home studios.
The track was written by Ethan Proctor, Francesca Williams, Henry Matthews, Josh Redman Thomas, Matt Bond, and Tom Farkas. Produced by Bottlemoth and Ethan Proctor.
The band vocalist Ethan Proctor Williams said of the song, “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.”- He continued, “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.”
