Coach Party share the final taster of their debut album with "Be That Girl"

05 September 2023, 11:54 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

The brand new single was debuted as Clara Amfo's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 last night.

"Be That Girl" reconciles with the epiphany that you’ve become a different person; one starkly separate from the version you previously knew yourself to be, and the people you used to share the company of.

The song arrives along with a home-footage-style music video that acts as a visual diary of the band’s life onstage and backstage over the past year, as they’ve performed over 100 shows while opening for the likes of Queens of the Stone Age and Wet Leg, and played major festivals such as Glastonbury, The Great Escape, and more.

Expanding on the new track, drummer Guy Page says: “We were touring a lot last year, so a big chunk of the writing for KILLJOY happened in hotel rooms, such as "Be That Girl" of which the bulk was formed in a morning in Spain before heading out to play BBK Festival. It's one of the more inward and self reflective songs on the record, and the one with the softest sonic edges. Retrospectively, it feels like a step closer to our early style as a band, which is nice."

"Be That Girl" follows Coach Party’s recent singles "Parasite", "What’s The Point In Life", "All I Wanna Do Is Hate", and "Born Leader", which were released earlier this year. KILLJOY represents the culmination of four years of constant graft including three EPs (2020’s Party Food, 2021’s After Party and 2022's Nothing Is Real).

Coach Party's debut album, KILLJOY, will be released on 8 September via Chess Club Records, and is available to pre-order.
