Mar 7, 2025An exceptional record.
-
Mar 6, 2025The juxtaposition of Williams’ words with the bright jangle rock within is what makes the album an enticing listen.
-
Apr 30, 2025Cotton Crown is a truly rare record. Poetic, poisonous, exhilarating, and somehow, in spite of its dark heart, utterly joyous.
-
Mar 12, 2025Cotton Crown is built from the same raw materials as their debut but feels more fleet-footed and robustly constructed. The band have refined all the qualities of their addictive sound, and these nine songs fly by in half an hour, nary a moment wasted.
-
Mar 6, 2025Despite containing infectious anthems like The Cure-inspired “One More Day” and pop-punk powerhouse “Chain Reaction,” Cotton Crown is a complex yet highly rewarding listen.

MojoMar 6, 2025It's Williams's confessions, delivered with an intensity worthy of Richard Thompson, that make their second album so compelling. [Apr 2025, p.79]

Mar 6, 2025The music mirrors the persuasive charm of the narrator, hooking you in even as the singer boasts they're a bit of a heel. [Mar 2025, p.38]

Mar 6, 2025The Tubs have proven to be an excellent band. They are also pretty predictable. Maybe this is what jangle music has become. However, I would argue that the Tubs can reach a deeper level, showing that they are taking risks and ultimately rewarding listeners who have otherwise enjoyed their music.
