shortstraw. – AKA Coventry based Erin West – has shared the brand new single, "Dot Cotton".

"This song is reflecting on all things ‘uk pop culture’ as it references dot cotton, calvin harris, my ford fiesta falling apart and expressing my love for raves whilst simultaneously looking back on doing anything for a laugh and everyone finding it funny until it all goes west combined with not knowing when to say no," shortstraw. explains.

"I feel like I’ve always wanted to slip Dot Cotton or Pat Butcher’s name into a song and as I was writing this song the rhyme just fell into place with the context," she continues. "Dot cotton was a gorgeous girl and them wrinkles sure did run deep. (lyric reference ‘you weren’t even there don’t tell ur mates that u got them, that sh*t runs deeper than the wrinkles on dot cotton’)."

"Dot Cotton" is out now via Our House Online.
