There’s an alternate reality where everyone makes a living wage and the cleanest buses you’ve ever seen arrive every other minute. Where the most intense songs are about confessing your love to a crush at the apple orchard, and where gentle feelings and chaotic energy are inseparable best friends. This is the timeline where Cootie Catcher is right at home. This Toronto based four-piece exudes both vulnerability and unbridled excitement, creating a sound that hypercharges the open-hearted tenderness of twee pop with spiraling synths and giddy electronics
Their new single,“Gingham Dress,” captures the ache of an “almost” love — one weighed down by commitment, effort, and the sting of someone else’s indecision. It’s a line in the sand, a final step back that says, if this is going to work, it has to come from you now. Set against a backdrop of intimacy and domesticity, the track pairs bright electro-pop melodies with bittersweet lyrics, turning heartbreak into a shimmering reflection on devotion, disappointment, and letting go.
