The band cut their teeth touring the UK under their previous moniker, playing tour supports with Slow Readers Club and festivals such as 2000 Trees, Isle of Wight and Glastonbury. Since returning to live in 2024 as Bottlemoth, the band have already performed alongside The Dangerous Summer, Cold Years, Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun and Adult Leisure. Previous releases have amassed over 130,000 streams and have been celebrated by the likes of Far Out Magazine, Clash and God Is In The TV.

“Tattoo” is a well a written melodic gem that gently finds its way into your heart and soul. Lyrically “Tattoo” is at its core a lyrical masterpiece piece that flows effortlessly with a stunning melodic musical backdrop.

Discussing the lyrical themes behind the single, vocalist and lyricist Ethan Proctor says, “Discussing the lyrical themes behind the single, vocalist and lyricist Ethan Proctor says, “I got my first tattoo when Chess and I met. Henry and Tom had lots already, and I’d maybe thought too much about the permanence before. Etching memories and art into your skin can be a wonderful thing, and I now have the buzz. Collecting them has become a real hobby now, but I don’t think I’ll ever be covered. I think people that can be fully covered in tattoos must have a strong sense of who they are, and that’s inspiring to me. We can riddle ourselves with doubt, and sometimes it’s hard to just do it.”

Tattoo was written and produced by the band themselves across home studios, drums were produced with Joe Marsh at Orchard Studios and the track was mixed by Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Bess Atwell, Nova Twins, Cassia) who’s experience and expertise helped the band’s vision develop into a unique sound.

“Tattoo”, is taken from their upcoming debut album ‘Even Us Ghosts’ out later this year.

We are simply delighted by the pure heartfelt message and musical brilliance displayed in “Tattoo” from Bottlemoth. We can’t wait for what’s next .
