Cecilia's Island, by Battersea 24/08/2023

Another track from our forthcoming debut album "shooting day for night" this is "Cecilia's Island" a story song partially inspired by Antarctic explorers like Shackleton and Scott. "this must be su***de, frost bite in lieu of knives..." but could be about the end of a relationship with a person (or an island).

Evergreen, by Battersea 05/07/2023

Hey everybody we hope you're having a happy 4th of July! in honor of The USA's birthday we thought we'd share our ode to our favorite little slice of the US, the Pacific Northwest! it's called Evergreen and we hope you like it, wherever you call home. This is from the forthcoming debut album "shooting day for night" which is slated to come out this summer, we'd hoped for a spring release but due to problems with the label (the problem is we're the label) it's had to be pushed back a little. Oh and BTW if you do live in the PNW please come see us on July 14th at the New Frontier Lounge! // The Purrs // MALE//GAZE // Season of Strangers @ New Frontier Lounge
