Indie-folk group Bottlemoth, which features ex-members of Bridges, have delivered their debut single “Tattoo” today.

For the single, the band self-produced the final product with additional production from Joe Marsh at Orchard Studios and mixing done by Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Bess Atwell, Nova Twins, Cassia).

Vocalist Ethan Proctor said this about the single:

“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.”

"Tattoo" is the first single taken from Bottlemoth’s upcoming debut album Even Us Ghosts, which is set to be released later this year. “Tattoo” is available on digital services right now here.
