Something We All Got by Cootie Catcher

For fans of Feeble Little Horse, Pavement, Sweet Trip, folksy indie rock, and imagination as a device to realize a better world, Something We All Got by Cootie Catcher builds a cozy fantasy landscape for twee to exist alongside our deeply dangerous reality. Intersection points of subtly glitchy electronica and unapologetically human performances form an environment both contemporary and homespun, starting the work of creating something simultaneously believable and fantastic. This quest continues with warmly dissonant, slightly jazzy guitars and soothing, dreamy vocals, the combination of which invokes the sort of charming love songs which feel so out of place in a world dominated by macro chaos. However, the lyrics take us back to a place more grounded in the seriousness of our current moment, walking the tightrope of everyday frustration and civilizational collapse to feel uncannily familiar to our lives in the imperial core. Despite the world, we must continue living, and despite our everyday lives, we must continue fighting for a better world.
