Exclusive video premiere of ‘Winners Chapel’ by Cucamaras, taken from the upcoming EP, ‘Soft Soap’, which will be released later this year.

Following on from the success of their two releases and busy live schedule in 2021, Cucamaras are ready to take a step up in 2022, with their new single, ‘Winner’s Chapel’. The band, formed of Josh Hart, Olly Bowley, Dan McGrath and Joe Newton have developed a strong interest from their local scene in Nottingham, selling out The Bodega, in October 2021. Taking inspiration from acts such as Fontaines D.C., Parquet Courts and Car Seat Headrest, Cucamaras’ latest EP demonstrates the expansion of the band’s direction.

Speaking about ‘Winner’s Chapel’, Cucamaras’ Olly Bowley says: “This one is a track about taking and regretting advice from didactic characters who are in no position to teach, but you somewhat buy into the ideas that they’re selling. It’s a disorientated story as far as the song flows – walking and bumping into this person, hearing them out, acting on what they said but ending up worse off from the encounter.”

‘Soft Soap’ also provides a peak into the future of Cucamaras, with further releases expected later in the year with accompanying shows to be announced.
