COOTIE CATCHER ANNOUNCES SUMMER NORTH AMERICAN & FALL UK HEADLINE DATES

ACCLAIMED NEW LP SOMETHING WE ALL GOT OUT NOW ON CARPARK RECORDS

Toronto’s cootie catcher have announced an extensive headline North American and UK tour this summer and fall in support of their acclaimed new album, Something We All Got (Carpark Records). The NA run will begin on June 19th in Kalamazoo, MI, and includes a July 5th show in Los Angeles, CA, and follows a winter tour that included stops at New Colossus Festival and SXSW. Later this year, the band–Nolan Jakupovski (guitar, vocals), Anita Fowl (vocals, bass), Sophia Chavez (vocals, synths), and Joseph Shemoun (drums)–will head overseas to tour the UK. A current itinerary is below and select additional dates will be announced soon.

Released in late February, Something We All Got has seen praise and support a multitude of local and international publications.

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 band exudes both vulnerability and unbridled excitement, creating a sound that hypercharges the open-hearted tenderness of twee pop with spiraling synths and giddy electronics. Something We All Got is the clearest and most vibrant reading of cootie catcher’s vision yet, with songs of sweetness, nervousness, and expectancy that beam out unguarded.

After releasing music made primarily in basements, Something We All Got is the band’s first flirtation with studio recording. The edges are still sharp, however, with some parts assembled from time-honored lo-fi methods and fun, personally-sourced samples seeping into the production. The sound is explosive and upbeat, with euphoric guitars, bubbly synth lines, speedy drums both played and programmed, and all other manner of sound constantly colliding. cootie catcher has three songwriters–Chavez, Fowl, and Jakupovski–all of whom have distinctive voices but still manage to overlap in their writing on shared concerns like navigating the lines of romantic and platonic relationships, their city’s social scenes, and struggles in both the microcosmic experience of playing in a band and the zoomed-out challenges of living through late-stage capitalism. Yet joy still touches every surface of Something We All Got.
