Production

edit

Coterie first met New Zealand band Six60 in 2021, after Coterie performed a cover of a Six60 song on Instagram. After Six60 reached out to the band, Coterie flew from Perth to Auckland days later for the groups' first recording sessions together.[1] Coterie were signed as the first act on Massive Records, a music label created by a collaboration between Six60 and Sony Music New Zealand.[2]

Most of the album was written on a trip to Mount Maunganui.[3] Band member Tyler Fisher described the album as being inspired by summer, and "late night drives down the coast with the crew, that first hit of summer sun on your face".[4][3]

"Cool It Down", was inspired by the band unable to return to New Zealand due to COVID-19 pandemic,[5] and was recorded in the band's home studio in Perth, in their parents' living room.[6] It was released as the first single from the album in December 2021,[7] after which Coterie toured Australia as an opening act for Six60.[8]

The album was recorded with Six60 at their studio in Mangawhai,[9] with the rest of the album's recording taking place at Coterie's home studio in Perth.[10]

Release and promotion

edit

"Cool It Down" was released as the first single from the album in December 2021, and became a major hit in New Zealand in early 2022.[8] "Killing It Off" followed as the second single from the album in April after the success of "Cool It Down",[11] and in early September the band released a Māori language version of "Cool It Down" called "Purea"; translated with help from Tīmoti Kāretu.[12][13] A week later, "West Coast Drive" was released by the band as a single.[14] "Deja Vu" and "Shame" were both released as singles on 18 November, paired with the announcement of the album.[15]

The album was released on 9 December, the same day that Massive Records was officially launched.[16][2] "Purea / Cool It Down" was included as a bonus track on the physical CD, cassette and vinyl record versions of the album.[17] The album's final single "Always Beside You", a collaboration with Six60, was released as a single on the same day.[16]

Coterie supported Six60 on their 2022/2023 summer tour of New Zealand and Australia.[9] The band toured New Zealand in March 2023. Originally announced as a four-date tour, the band added additional performances in Raglan and Tauranga.[18][19] Coterie will perform an 11-date headlining tour of Australia in June.[20]
