Pottery share urgent new cut "Take Your Time"

04 March 2020, 11:56 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Pottery are back with urgent new single "Take Your Time", a second glimpse of their forthcoming debut LP Welcome To Bobby’s Motel.

"Take Your Time" lands after last month's lead single "Texas Drums Pt I & II".

Pottery say of the new track, "It’s not a secret that we enjoy occasionally using drugs recreationally, in the past they’ve helped guide us creatively and personally. But this song is about the darker side of drugs, when they become habits. It’s about the tough spot that stuff can put you in, beyond the isolated experience of briefly having a good time while you’re using them. You spend all your money, ruin your body, and don’t get anything out of it except for a fun night."

Welcome To Bobby’s Motel was recorded at Montreal's Break Glass studios with producer Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, Snail Mail).

Expanding on their forthcoming debut album, Pottery say, "in essence, Bobby is Pottery and his motel is wherever they are." They add, "But really, Bobby is a pilot, a lumberjack, a stay at home dad, and a disco dancer that never rips his pants. He's a punching bag filled with comic relief. He laughs in the face of day-to-day ambiguity, as worrying isn’t worth it to Bobby. There’s a piece of him in everyone, there to remind us that things are probably going to work out, maybe. He’s you. He’s him. He’s her. He’s them. Bobby is always there, painted in the corner, urging you to relax and forget about your useless worries."

"Take Your Time" is out now. Pottery's Welcome To Bobby's Motel album arrives via Partisan Records on 10 April, and is available to pre-order now. They play The Dome in London on 11 June. Find out more.
