Cotton Crown - Perfect Angel

Readers of this blog may remember Cotton Crown - he was one of my fav discoveries back in 2021, and among the first entries on this site. Owen came back with a new cassingle Perfect Angel in June last year, and only today I did realise I never blogged about it. The signature autotuned vocals are back, paired with melodic, slowcore shoegaze sound. Both tracks are total vibes. Once again, the Gob Nation label is behind the tape release, and these little babies won't last long.

Grab the tape here, and stream both tracks below.

So today I not only discovered that Cotton Crown has a new tape out (review coming up soon) but also that his band The Tubs "upgraded" his single "Wretched Lie" into a more college-rock friendly entity. It's still good, but something about the original version (well the gothic flavour, not gonna lie) beats it. The Tubs debut album "Dead Meat" came out last year via Trouble In Mind Records.

Cotton Crown - Wretched Lie

Goth-wave gems from London-based musician and singer Owen Williams (The Tubs, Ex-Vöid), under new alter-ego Cotton Crown. "Wretched Lie" is a two-track cassingle, released last month by Gob Nation. Total 80s vibes, especially the titular track makes me think of Lost Boys for some reason. Cop it now or miss it later. Fingers crossed there's an album or EP on the way!
