CD
Produced by Selthe in Peckham and featuring cover art by Boris Laevsky, Flea’s Feast traces a dreamlike landscape of tangled folk melodies, fuzzed out guitars, and mythic rural imagery. Across its five tracks; Padlock, Malted Milk, Cat’s Cradle, The Cuckoo’s Nest Breaks Under Your Heavy Step, and Ameliorate, songwriter Lottie Morton drifts between the gentle and the volatile, crafting what she calls an “English pastoral grunge” world, equal parts dreamy tenderness and claustrophobic unease.
Following the singles Padlock and Cat’s Cradle, the EP builds on Cuckoo Spit’s signature atmosphere - a place of trees, twine, and twilight, where vulnerability and resistance coexist. There’s a lyrical intimacy throughout: songs that feel like whispered confessions from the undergrowth, haunted by memories, and the strange comfort of solitude.
From the raw, Nirvana tinged power of Padlock to the spectral folk of Malted Milk and the surreal lullaby that closes the record, Flea’s Feast feels like a diary written from a world just slightly sideways from our own.
