When it comes to emerging indie-pop bands making waves, Cootie Catcher is certainly one to watch—and their latest news might just turn heads. But here's where it gets controversial... they’re already teasing their next album, 'Something We All Got,' just after dropping their sophomore record, 'Shy At First,' which earned them recognition among the year's top new artists. And yes, the new single 'Straight Drop' is available now, sparking curiosity about what’s next.
Lead singer and bassist Anita Fowl opens up about the emotional undercurrents behind the new release. She explains, 'This project stems from feelings of frustration that come with being vulnerable in the wrong settings.'

Interestingly, she notes a parallel with her live performances—feeling unsure in personal interactions but channeling that uncertainty into powerful on-stage expressions. This raw honesty adds depth to their music, making it resonate authentically with listeners.
