It is also the second piece of work produced by BJ Burton with whom they first worked with on their debut due to the fact usual collaborator, George Daniel of The 1975 was tied up working on the band\u2019s phenomenal 2018 release A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burton has worked extensively with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver which meant Bain travelled out to the US to work on music at Vernon\u2019s private studio in Wisconsin. This encounter resulted in their latest EP \u2018Chewing Cotton Wool\u2019 going full circle in terms of production. It includes Dionne, a track featuring Vernon that exudes a new sense of sureness &#8211; which is reflected throughout the rest of this EP. The first single released from Chewing Cotton Wool was Something Has To Change, a potential pop hit with an awfully catchy chorus that you can\u2019t help but sing along to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title track then followed, it is in this track that Bain recalls memories of a lost loved one using lyrics like \u201c<em>She\u2019s the sound of your own voice \/ She\u2019s someone else\u2019s drink<\/em>\u201d. These lyrics are accompanied by a tinkling of electronic sounds in the background. The final of the four songs, the first on this record is \u2018Sharing Beds\u2019 which is comprised of piano and vocals produced using a synthesiser, a familiar sound to fans of both The Japanese House and the 1975 as this track is reminiscent of some of the bands earlier tracks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chewing Cotton Wool is an advancement of Bain\u2019s sound but it is an EP that brings the last few years of music together whilst directing listeners toward future possibilities with lyrics designed for the radio. This EP is an indication of Bain\u2019s talent and their ability to produce an incredibly meaningful collection of songs in every release. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bain\u2019s newest addition to their discography, is the first EP since their debut album Good at Falling which was released last year on Dirty Hit.
