Starting off the new year with a bang, not to mention some serious country twang, Perth singer-songwriter Siobhan Cotchin has just released her latest single, titled ‘The Truth Always Comes Out’. A cutting ballad which speaks to the experience of giving too much grace in relationships – and to people who perhaps don’t always deserve it – Siobhan has said of the song;
“This song is for the people-pleasers who have found themselves holding onto relationships that aren’t good for them. I feel like it’s human nature to want what we can’t have and seek the approval of people that don’t necessarily give us the energy we’re giving away.
“I think I’m someone that always tries to see the best in people and I’ve become quite skilled in the art of dodging red flags in both romantic and platonic relationships. I give out second chances to my own detriment because I’m an optimist, but when someone shows you their true colours, believe them. Shoutout to Mum for that nugget of wisdom!” SIOBHAN COTCHIN
Recorded at Perth’s Debaser Studios with Andy Lawson (Noah Dillon, Smol Fish, Mia June, Ra Ra Viper), Siobhan was inspired by classic folk heavyweights – such as Neil Young – to implement a sense of old school simplicity and charm in the single;
“This is another Tim Nelson/ Siobhan Cotchin special. Country twang is always woven into everything I do, but I feel like with this track, there is nothing subtle about the twang. I wanted it to kind of give a bit of an old school, 70s Neil Young vibe and really pay tribute to all the music I love. In terms of production and recording with Andy Lawson (Debaser Studios), we wanted it to sound like how we actually recorded it: everyone in the same room having a jam. It needs that organic treatment so that’s what we did. We kept the instrumentation pretty minimal to add to the old school vibe.” SIOBHAN COTCHIN
Having previously exhibited her skill as a live performer largely through supporting an array of incredible local AND international names in recent years (Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls, Leon Bridges, Thelma Plum, The Teskey Brothers, The Whitlams and more), Siobhan has also played headline tours across the country, as well as giving performances at BIGSOUND and Laneway Festival. Now celebrating the release of ‘The Truth Always Comes Out’, Siobhan will be playing a launch show for the single at Perth’s The Bird on February 1st.
