cootie catcher are back with their self-sampling new song “Puzzle Pop.” The track is the third single from their forthcoming new album Something We All Got, dropping February 27th via Carpark Records.

“It’s a song about how I should ask more from people but I don’t,” explains singer/guitarist Nolan Jakupovski of “Puzzle Pop,” out now alongside an animated video by Corrinne James (Naomi Alligator). “A non-confrontational anthem? Always making incorrect assumptions from lack of communication… ‘i know you don’t like to point out the obvious/let’s just let nature run its course’.” The song follows additional album singles “Straight Drop” and “Gingham Dress.”

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.
