Bottlemoth formed in January 2024, releasing their debut album ‘Even us Ghosts’ to critical acclaim in the Autumn of that year.
Influenced by artists such as Manchester Orchestra, The Gaslight Anthem, Jimmy Eat World, The Wonder Years, Frightened Rabbit - their sound is honest and heartfelt, emotive and dynamic.
They took this record around the UK, with festival appearances at Isle of Wight, Underground & Little Orchard on the BBC Introducing stage.
‘Suki’ is the first new single since their debut, featured as a Fresh On The Net Alt Pick and later selected for their Fresh Faves playlist.
Inspired by guitar music of the 90’s and early 2000’s, the sound is heading into richer distorted sonic pallets against their emotive and lyrical staple.
‘Lilac’ is the bands latest single, selected in BBC Introducing's ‘ear-worm’ as a feature - naming them a ‘hotly tipped indie rock’ outfit to follow.
The band are currently working on their sophomore record for 2027, heading into a deeper, darker and more guitar focused collection of songs.
‘Even Us Ghosts’ is the debut album from Bottlemoth and was released in October 2024.
The record is a coming of age album.
Independence to returning home; celebrating friendships, first loves, growing up and rumination of heartbreak. The sound is a melting pot of influences from folk, rock & indie, where each songs pools in emotive and detailed arrangements.
The album was written and produced by Bottlemoth, with additional recordings with Joe Marsh at Orchard Studios and mixed by Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Bess Atwell, Nova Twins, Cassia).
