Bottlemoth Releases Two New Songs “You'll Always Have Us” & “Everything Works Out In The End”
British indie-folk band Bottlemoth, consisting of Ethan Proctor Williams (vocals/guitar), Chessa Proctor Williams (vocals/Keyboards), Matt Bond (vocals/lead guitar), Henry Matthews (bass) and Tom Farkas (drums), released two new songs “You'll Always Have Us” and “Everything Works Out In The End” on August 1, 2024.
Two songs were taken from their upcoming debut album “Even Us Ghosts”, which is set to be released on October 17, 2024.
Two tracks were 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 who's experience and expertise helped the band's vision develop into a unique sound.
The band lead singer Ethan Proctor Williams said two songs, “These two songs were the first and last to finish whilst writing the record. They really sum up everything the album is trying to say. Be there for those you love the best you can, and try to worry less as everything works out in the end. The two songs match up really nicely now, so we were excited to share as a double single.”- He continued, “'You'll Always Have Us' began hashed out on a cheap nylon guitar direct to voice notes. Arranging the unformed tunes and snippets, it came together in an afternoon. Chess and I were still living in London, just before we moved out when the world was shutdown. Living in London where everything is so fast, I don't know if I checked in with my friends outside of the bubble as much as I wanted to. It's a fairly cursed place to live for that I think, as much as it holds a fond place in my heart. It helped me think a lot on trying to be a better friend though, which is important. Still trying of course.”

He added, “'Everything Works Out In The End' I finished writing the lyrics whilst in Glasgow for a show. The album was almost all recorded at the time, apart from the verses of this tune. The riff that began the song was long gone, which meant there was plenty of room to try things. I've been challenging myself to try to say more within fewer words in recent years. Everything Works Out In The End is a song I'm proud of for that. I can't recall who said it first to me, perhaps my parents or grandma said a lot when I was growing up. It's a sentiment that has stuck; our biggest problems now won't matter in 6 months, and that is a calming ideal. If it's not okay, it's not the end yet.” - source : Apple Music
