Manchester’s own Cottons have just released their brand new single “Second Hand Living Room“, an explosive return from the alternative-pop outfit 💥 we’ve been huge fans of these guys for a long time now and their incredible back catalogue of releases sees another massive tune added to it!

We first had Cottons perform for us way back in 2019 or so, before the pandemic and they blew us away with their incredible stage energy, upbeat and catchy tunes, their ability to write an incredible hook and the innate chemistry within the band 🤝

You can really hear it in this new song, with gorgeous guitar melodies lacing the track – the tone is luscious, and paired with the synth lead it combines for an infectious upbeat feel!

The track has a fantastic groove behind it, with a drumbeat that feels not only confident and tight but has a real element of dynamic throughout, matching perfectly to the bassline – giving so much room within the track for the vocal to take centre stage!

It’s a real singalong tune, with the main vocal utilising a lovely melody throughout – plus, with a catchy chorus hook, intricate and descriptive lyricism, and the offset vocal melody of the second verse contrasting to the first; definitely a proper summer feel to this one! ☀️

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms – it’s another incredible tune under their belt and we can’t wait to see where they go next! definitely worth checking out all of their tracks, we’ve covered their music a bunch; a fantastic band! 🙌

the Yorkshire-based duo have been making their mark on the national scene with a flurry of singles over the past year, and they’ve had significant radio play and racked up thousands of plays already, showing that they’re truly ones to watch on the alt-pop scene.

this new single “Red Tide” shows off their musical prowess superbly, with a driving bassline setting the scene for the track, with a gorgeous groove, soft and delicate piano chords over the top and a slick guitar melody that really decorate the soundscape beautifully. Lia’s vocal soars expertly over the track, sounding gorgeous and with a really intricate approach to songwriting, it’s definitely a track to spin on a summer’s day like today!
