When talking about music with friends, I've begun hyping up cootie catcher as Toronto's next trendy indie rock band, and the new single "Dumb lit" is here as supporting evidence.
It's a sweet indie pop ditty with traces of Pacific Northwest twee and Midwest emo — but there are also some sour passing chords that reveal an unique grit that sets them apart from soundalike comparisons.
It's another compelling glimpse of the debut album, Shy at first, out March 14 through the Cooked Raw Label.
