SUMMARY:cootie catcher
LOCATION:The Hope & Ruin
DESCRIPTION:FORM Presents COOTIE CATCHER There’s an alternate reality whe
 re everyone makes a living wage and the cleanest buses you’ve ever seen 
 arrive every other minute. Where the most intense songs are about confessi
 ng your love to a crush at the apple orchard\, and where gentle feelings a
 nd chaotic energy are inseparable best friends. This is the timeline where
  cootie catcher is right at home. This Toronto based four-piece exudes bot
 h vulnerability and unbridled excitement\, creating a sound that hyperchar
 ges the open-hearted tenderness of twee pop with spiraling synths and gidd
 y electronics. Their new album Something We All Got is the clearest and mo
 st vibrant reading of cootie catcher’s vision yet\, with songs of sweetn
 ess\, nervousness\, and expectancy that beam out unguarded. After releasin
 g music made primarily in basements\, Something We All Got is the band’s
  first flirtation with studio recording. The edges are still sharp\, howev
 er\, with some parts assembled from time-honored lo-fi methods and fun\, p
 ersonally-sourced samples seeping into the production. The sound is explos
 ive and upbeat\, with euphoric guitars\, bubbly synth lines\, speedy live 
 and programmed drums\, and all other manner of sound constantly colliding.
  cootie catcher has three songwriters–Sophia Chavez (vocals\, synths)\, 
 Anita Fowl (vocals\, bass)\, and Nolan Jakupovski (vocals\, guitar)–all 
 of whom have distinctive voices but manage to overlap in their writing on 
 shared concerns like navigating the lines of romantic and platonic relatio
 nships\, their city’s social scenes\, and struggles in both the microcos
 mic experience of playing in a band and the zoomed-out challenges of livin
 g through late-stage capitalism. Joy still touches every surface of Someth
 ing We All Got. “Quarter Note Rock” bounces around the room in a fit o
 f jangling guitar chords\, scratched samples\, and interplay between break
 beat loops and somersaulting live drums. It’s a blast of positivity desp
 ite lyrics about how disappointing it can be to meet your heroes. A smilin
 g electro pop instrumental supports having to step painfully away from an 
 almost realized love on “Gingham Dress\,” a song that subverts themes 
 of domesticity as a backdrop for the dashed wilt of hopeless devotion. The
  ‘non-confrontational anthem’ “Puzzle Pop” cascades and soars thro
 ugh an examination of needing to ask more from others before concluding in
  a swirl of samples. cootie catcher rolls down hills and jumps through fla
 ming hoops throughout Something We All Got without ever muting the viscera
 l emotions that drive these songs. There’s a palpable tension between th
 e band’s exhilarating sonics and the raw\, often uneasy sentiments expre
 ssed\, but it’s an integral part of what makes them unique. Rather than 
 hide\, cootie catcher is instead fearlessly direct\, running full-speed to
 ward every confusion and excitement\, and embracing the reality they’re 
 in.\n\nBoletos: https://www.fatsoma.com/e/a46gq30i/cootie-catcher
