Coach Party have announced their second studio album ‘Caramel’, set for release on 26th September via Chess Club Records. The Isle of Wight alt-rockers have also shared new single ‘Girls!’.
The track draws influence from Limp Bizkit, featuring the hook ‘Where the fuck are my girls!’. “No matter who you are, no matter who you think you are, you’re our girls,” says Guy Page. “When you walk out the door you can go back to whatever you want, but being at a gig is an escape for every one of us, we’re all doing this thing because we love to be here. You’re at this gig so you’re one of us. Our girls are everyone in this room.”
The band elaborate on the track: “We wrote a song to try and encapsulate the escapism and togetherness you’d feel at your favourite band’s show, and then we were taken on a visual masterclass as our friends Dan Broadley & Josh Halling fleshed out their interpretation of that song in film. The concept of swapping out a Coach Party show for a (Club Caramel) retreat, where people can go to discover the parts of their personality they didn’t even realise existed and coax them to flourish, is an interesting and beautiful way to interpret the song which we never would have thought of. But, at the same time, it totally aligns with our original meaning and intention for ‘Girls!’; we’ve learnt a lot about ourselves at gigs over the years, and we’re sure the same is true for anyone who’s been to see their favourite band live.”
‘Caramel’, produced by Page, spans 33 minutes and follows their 2023 debut ‘Killjoy’.
