Owen Williams, the lead singer of the indie rock band the Tubs, reflects on the emotionally charged songwriting process for their album 'Cotton Crown,' created during a difficult time following his long-term relationship's end. Throughout the interviews, Williams describes his struggles with obsessive drinking and dating, and how his lyrics often reveal his harsh self-perception. Despite the group's previous low expectations and a seemingly effortless debut album, 'Dead Meat,' the Tubs invested significantly more effort into 'Cotton Crown,' filled with poignant, self-critical themes that resonate with listeners.
Most of the songs were written in the midst of a breakdown, says Owen Williams, lead singer with indie rock group the Tubs. My long-term relationship had ended, so I was drunk constantly and being kind of obsessive about the people I was dating.
Cotton Crown is full of songs about Williams's relationship woe, showcasing how the band uses music as a vehicle for personal expression and self-criticism.
